I love making backgrounds ahead of time.
This time I used water color paper and Crayola water crayons to make a rainbow.
The base card is black card stock with a layer of white card stock.
Using the next black card stock panelI cut it with Simon Says Stamp “Filigree Border” and backed it with part of the rainbow piece.
The “you” was cut using a My Favorite Things die from the remaining rainbow piece.
Before applying it to the card front I stamped the sentiment from the same set with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.
Then I glued the “you” to the card front.
This is stunning Arlene with the colour contrasting so boldly with the black - amazing work
