Oops – I missed #408. I made a card for it but was too late to photograph and share. I’ll post this one in a few days.
Today, I will show you the project I made for this week’s challenge. This is one is a colour challenge. A rainbow challenge!
Who doesn’t love a beautiful rainbow?
I think this may be a week of rainbows. So far I have made two projects and I will any others I create during the week.
For this project I am featuring the Meery & Bright Bundle and the Joy to You Cling Stamp Set
I started by choosing my rainbow colours – Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Azure Afternoon, Blueberry Bushel and Gorgeous Grape.
The first image stamped was the looped string that the Christmas lightbulbs would be suspended from. I stamped it using Versamark and then heat embossed the silver Metallic Embossing Powder.
Then I stamped the four caps for the bulb, in the same way as the string, directly on the Basic White layer.
The Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Azure Afternoon and Gorgeous Grape bulbs were then stamped.
The three remaining Christmas lightbulbs and silver embossed caps were then stamped on a separate piece of Basic White cardstock, before being cut using the Merry & Bright Dies. The filaments were stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
The last three bulbs were added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The Christmas greeting is from the Joy to You Cling Stamp Set. It was stamped in three different colours and then each line was trimmed separately before being popped up on the card front using dimensionals.
I used my dark Stampin’ Blends in Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green and Blueberry Bushel to colour some of the silver Neutrals Adhesive-backed Sequins. Two sets of three coloured sequins were placed on the card for a bit of coordinated bling.
Because some of the products I have used to make this card are not yet available to customers, I am not able to show them at this time, so I have included product images in this post. As soon as product images go live, I will create this section.
I have already made several projects using the Merry, Bold & Bright Suite Collection in preparation for a display that I am presenting for a Stampin’ Up! event in September. However, this is the first time that I have used the Joy to You Stamp Set and I am looking forward to using it more.
My next post will be another rainbow creation.
Until then, happy stamping.
