Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - March 15 - Rainbow...Lucky Me...


Hello stampin' friends! Welcome to the NEW challenge over at the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Rainbow!  I knew when I saw the NEW CCIC challenge was Rainbow I had to use my Reverse Confetti Weather it Together Stamp set and coordinating Weather it Together Confetti Cuts. I thought I would do some watercolouring too; inspired by the pretty vases of coloured water in the inspiration photo.



I needed some inspiration for the card design and found this great sketch over at Sunday Stamps...perfect for my rainbow card!

I used a technique that I've coined "Reverse Watercolour".  I made several swatches of watercoloured paper by laying down a watercolour wash with my Peerless Watercolours. I set the sheets aside and allowed them to dry. When dry, I strategically die-cut various shapes from the water coloured paper and stamp over the watercolouring. I cut the circles from various watercoloured swatches of paper with the Reverse Confetti Circles 'N Scallops Confetti Cuts. I stamped the sentiment from the Reverse Confetti A Friend Like You Stamp set  on the large yellow circle. I cut the clouds and sun from the watercoloured swatches and then stamped with the coordinating stamps from Weather it Together Stamp set.  I added a smattering of Your Next Stamp Gumdrops in various rainbow colours. Finally, I used Heidi Swapp Black Velvet Color Shine spray mixed with a little water and spattered the card and added an AC Hemp cord bow to the sun.

Thanks So much for stopping by and havin' a wee peek at my Reverse Confetti rainbow card for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Rainbow.
