Rainbow of Colour


Hello and Welcome
Meet today's card.
I really like the look it has with a rainbow of many colours.  

Here's what I did to create my card.
I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock.  I added small dots of Acrylic paint all over the panel, randomly as you can see below:




Next, using a small piece of cardboard, I pulled each dot of paint downwards just a bit.  I continued doing that until all the dots were blended together as you can see below:

You can use whatever you have on hand to drag the paint, I just used a piece of cardboard so I had less clean up. 

I set the piece aside to dry completely which took a bit of time.
I added the die cut sentiment and the square gems when the paint was totally dry.
I mounted it onto a piece of matching blue cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.




Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

  6. What a stunning background - so effective and eye-catching, yet relatively simple too. Love that you let it steal the show by the way you mounted it, and also used a die cut over it.
    Stay safe
