Makers Gonna Make | The Stamp Market Birthday Blog Hop + Giveaway

For my second card, I combined elements from the same stamp set with the Rainbow Stripes dies from last month’s release.

I started by creating the rainbow.  This time I used regular Distress Inks (Worn Lipstick, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, Cracked Pistachio, and Tumbled Glass) to ink up some Neenah Solar White.  I took my ink cubes directly to the paper for quick saturation.  No blending tools necessary!  Once I had separate pieces of inked-up paper, I used the Rainbow Stripes dies to cut out five colorful arcs.  I also cut out extra arcs out of 110# white cardstock so that I could create additional depth for some of the arcs.

I stacked and adhered five white layers of the largest arc together, and then adhered the red layer on top.  The orange arc has three white layers beneath it, and the yellow arc has one white layer beneath it.  The green and blue arcs don’t have any extra layers.

I stamped the little card with a heart on it and the paint brush, both from the Makers Gonna Make stamp set, in Copic-friendly ink and then used BV02 to color the heart and the head of the brush.  Next I stamped the sentiment in black pigment ink, and then I used the coordinating dies to cut out the three pieces.  I cut out three additional layers for the sentiment and then stacked and adhered them together.

To assemble the card, I adhered the rainbow arcs to an A2-sized card base and then adhered the little card nad paint brush with foam tape.  Then I adhered the sentiment before adhering the card front to an A2-sized card base.
