Colour Creations - Pool Party


The participants in Colour Creations are all Stampin' Up! demonstrators and members of Art With Heart. This is week 36 of Colour Creations Blog Hop, and as we use the colours alphabetically, we are up to Pool Party.


Pool Party is a member of the Subtles group of colours, a soft soothing pale aqua. 



The similarity to a sky prompted the use of the new Rainbow of Happiness bundle.


Using the dies, four different rainbows were cut and assembled with the colours in different sequences.

   

The pieces were laid down roughly, before the adhesive strips were peeled away. A stitched rectangle was positioned to cut a rainbow in opposing corners.


I'd intentionally picked the rectangle which fitted in the Scalloped contour die the best, and it was a perfect size for this card front.


The sunny sentiment was also die cut using a Stitched Rectangle and those little clouds are included in the Rainbow bundle. You can also order a cloud punch to add more to this set of stamps. It is large enough to stamp a sentiment onto, and also punches clouds out of the SAB paper Sunshine & Rainbows. Although I haven't used it here, it will be a useful addition to your punches,



Now it's time to hop on over to my lovely friend Christine

  5. Delightful card Rachel. Love your choice of rainbow colours with the little clouds. I had never thought to check whether a stitched rectangle fitted within the scalloped rectangles - you created a great frame. Must go and check my dies. Xxx
