Create a Rainbow! or four!

I've done a wee bit more shopping [I might have a problem - but don't think I'm alone with it =]   Waffle Flower Crafts had a wonderful Rainbow Everything release recently - TOO cute to resist!

I immediately reached for JJ Bolton's darling Oversized Rainbow Combo, her Rustic Rainbow die set, and a few more goodies I'll save for another day!

Ready for the results of a full play day?  Ready, or not, here they come...


Just when you think you can't make a non-traditional rainbow, I found a way!
Using this wee little bloom die, that was a gift with purchase!  
Yes, they are SO generous!

Here's another way of making a rainbow your own - this time, I am allowing
the recipient to make it HER own, by making the rainbow removable, 
by using repositionable tape!


Of course I had to make a traditional rainbow, too!


I love that JJ's set includes the arches, and these adorable little clouds - 
I cut them from dotty dry embossed card stock, and grey for the silver lining *wink*

Last card - thanks for hanging in there with me - I'm a girl who doesn't waste a bit when she can help it!  Using the solid rainbow die, I was able to rescue all the leftovers from cutting the strips from the rainbow of cardstock colors...

The wonderful, fantastic, clever Channin Pelletier inspired this card on her LIVE last Friday!

Aren't those Altenew alphas perfect for this?  I've used the WF
Up and Running enamel dots that coordinate perfectly!
 and a wee little butterfly die that I'd received in a past order!

Hope you enjoy the results of my play day!
See you again tomorrow - yes, there is ONE MORE!

  8. I LOVE the flowers on your white on white rainbow, Michele! What a clever idea! And a repositionable rainbow is another brilliant idea! The traditional rainbow with the raindrops falling behind it is awesome and you are a whiz at using those leftovers to make another fantastic card! WoW!

  18. What a fabulous set of rainbow cards, Michele! I love your fresh idea of using the white rainbow arches and rainbow-colored flowers and the sentiment shadow! Dry embossed textures adds so much interest to white-on-white. So clever to add a little touch of the silver lining to the cloud and to make another card with the leftover die-cut strips! And yes, your choice of the sentiment letters (HAPPY) is perfect!
