I have had the luxury of having quite a bit of time to be creative this week and have really enjoyed the opportunity to follow along with some favourite challenges and groups for inspiration and ideas.
One of those groups is "the Crafty Carrot" and I participated in their March workshop using Rainbow of Happiness- and it certainly did make me happy!
Jennifer Frost is one of the designers and she has a special interest in "using up your stash" and using past products- which is perfect since I DO have quite a few on my shelves. So this card is CASE'd from her project. I have a few more which I will share soon ( who am I kidding, I have a LOT more !)
The Hand Penned stamp and dies are current - and staying for another year which is fabulous. Same for the Embossing folder and the INcolour Shimmer vellum. Sadly the rainbow dies are not in the new Annual Catalogue which starts on May 2, but I am hopeful that the rainbows will carry over after the end of June when that catalogue finishes.
The ribbon is retired as are the Crystal buttons and the hexagon punch - an oldie but a goodie. I still love stitching buttons onto projects.
To colour my flower I used the Blends ( alcohol markers ) on Crumb Cake cardstock and then coloured over it with a white chalkboard marker - sadly these are also retiring. They are really useful, and add a nice dimension here.
This is Jenn's card, isn't it a beauty.
Thanks for stopping by today, I will share more of my rainbow creations as I have had such fun preparing them
I hope you have a creative week and remember,
"don't just post online,
post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz
I've never seen anyone colour with a chalk marker on top of blends - what a wonderful effect it creates! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Just Add Ink this week.
