Pastel rainbow

 Hello there sunshine!  Today I have a sweet little mini slimline card to share with you.


Since my last few cards have been bright rainbows, I wanted to try something a little more subdued.

I grabbed several Trinity Stamps products from my stash and got to work.  I cut the rainbow from the Rainbow Funshine die set six times from different colors of cardstock.  I then cut the basic rainbow shape out of white cardstock.  I covered it with adhesive and added the rainbow strips.

Next I grabbed the the panel die from the mini slimline Clean and Simple panels set.  I lined it up over my rainbow where I wanted to cut it and ran it through my die cut machine.  I then took the panel die and the next layer die and taped them together on a piece of white cardstock.  This way I created a white frame.  

I took the next largest die and cut out the grey polka dot layer.  This paper came from the Winter Hues paper pad (it is retired).  And with the largest die from the set I cut a grey layer.  I glued the two layers and the white frame together.  Then I added foam tape to the pack of the rainbow pieces.  I carefully added them to the open panels of the frame piece.   I mixed grey ink with Shimmer Spray and splattered it on the panels with a paint brush.

While the panels were drying, I stamped the Hello Sunshine sentiment from the Summer Bouquet Builder (also retired) with black ink.  I cut it out with a banner die and added foam tape to the back.  I added it to the panel.  I took the entire piece and glued it to a 6 1/4" x 3 1/4" card base.

I felt it needed just a bit of bling so I added some Bubble Bath baubles with liquid glue.  We have a finish!


Have a great day friends!
