Chance of Rainbows

Rainbows are so beautiful and are such a cheering sight after or even during rain, symbolising a new start.  I used this sketch to begin:












I made the rainbow on card by smooshing Distress Inks on a large acrylic block (you know I like to get inky) and just allowed it to happen.  So it was ready to use and I just needed to trim it to shape... and use that perfect sentiment!

Sentiment stamp: Happy Little Stampers
Nuvo Crystal Drops

    Hi Carol, I love that "smooshed" rainbow of colours you've created for your card. Great combination of challenges, too. Thanks so much for playing along with our HLS April Watercolour Challenge.

    Love that statement - and just allowed it to happen! Got to put the right colours there in the first place though to get such a pretty happening as yours. Thanks for playing along with the favourite technique challenge at AAA Cards.
