It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players.
The amazing Joanne is our hostess this week. She has a very fun color challenge for all of us. "Colors of the Rainbow" is the theme. Your project doesn't have to include an actual rainbow (although that's fine too!), rather it should contain a rainbow of colors as its focus.
I purchased the Simon Says Stamp Ocean Horizon Wafer die and have been waiting for this challenge. I will say I was frustrated getting all the pieces cut and had to make 2 before I got one that I was happy with. I did trim it down to be framed on the purple base. I sponged red ink around the rainbow to add more depth. The WOW letters were cut 4 times and stacked for dimension. The sentiment is from the matching stamp set. This was an MFT set and they are no longer in business. I added two black enamel dots to complete my card. I love the way it turned out and will be playing more with this die.

WOW is right--it might have taken a couple of tries, but your rainbow turned out gorgeous in the end! I like all the wonky shapes of each piece and the gradient of colors, very fun. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your fabulous rainbow card made my day, Claire! This will definitely brighten up the recipient's day. The variation of the shapes adds to the fun. The purple frames it perfectly. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThis card is amazing! It definitely has a WOW factor, even if it took you a while to get it just right! I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat an outstanding design, Claire! I LOVE the modern and graphic look to the "rainbow" and the sentiment goes perfectly. I'm glad you stuck with it (I find many die sets frustrating on the first outing), your card is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWOW is what I have to say about this! Such a bold and graphic design which manages to be both retro in feel and modern in design. It was worth spending time to get to terms with and may you have many more happy creations with this set. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat rainbow panel is a WOW indeed Claire - how fabulous! A great bold and modern design perfect for this week's challenge!
ReplyDeleteClaire - that is a WOW from me. I love these dies and you have showcased them beautifully. It takes me back to the 60s - in a really good way! What a fabulous, bright, cheerful card, and it was so worth the effort.
