Rainbow in the Clouds

Welcome!

Meet today's card.

I was asked to create some cards for New Grandparents so I was up to the challenge.

It also gave me a chance to play with this wonderful Cloud Edger stencil and mask from A Colorful Life Designs....so fun to play with!

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I started by cutting my card front panel with some heavy white cardstock.  I got out the Cloud Edger stencil and my Distress Oxide inks.  (Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin, Candied Apple, Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Dusty Concord)
• Beginning at the top of the panel, I applied ink using my blender brushes inking heavy in some areas and lighter in others along the edges of the mask.  I kept moving the mask down my panel using the above mentioned colours until I reached the bottom.
• Using my white Posca pen, I splattered the whole panel and set aside to dry.
• I die cut from the center of the panel with this Spellbinders die (I'm sorry I have no idea what it is called).  
• The sentiment was computer generated, then die cut with the same die I used to cut from the panel.  
• I fitted and glued the die cut piece back into place using pop dots and then pop dotted the sentiment over that.
• It was all glued onto a piece of blue cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Here is the Cloud Edger mask I used.
