How I Made this Rainbow Cloud – Thinking of You Card – Warm Welcome – Quiet Meadow – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

I was proud of this idea of a rainbow bridge made using the cloud punch. The highlights on the clouds are made using a white gel pen. The little kitty sitting under the bridge waiting for his owner is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers.

It is always difficult making cards such as these but I hope this would bring comfort.

The rainbow bridge is a pastel rainbow and my colours are:

  • Petal Pink
  • Calypso Coral
  • Lemon Lolly
  • Soft Sea Foam
  • Balmy Blue
  • Highland Heather

measurements

  • Balmy Blue Cardstock – A6 Card Base – this is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm X 2 pieces

This is a simple design. I have just layered die cuts in complimentary colours finishing with a layer of pretty paper. The die set is Countryside Corners. The colours here are Moody Mauve and Bubble Bath. I do love the names Stampin’ Up! comes up with, don’t you?

I made this card in two colour ways. Which do you like best? Let me know in the comments below.

I was thinking of RAKs when I made this card. When I first got into crafting I had no idea what a RAK was. Then I found out it means “Random Act of Kindness”. So sweet!! I have some goodies this year for a few RAKs and giveaways. Stay tuned to my blog and Facebook group for all the information.

The colouring on this card was super quick using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. I love how easy they are to blend and they also give me great results.

I love rainbow cards. They are such fun to make. The colours I’ve used for my rainbow are:

  • Real Red
  • Pumpkin Pie
  • Daffodil Delight
  • Granny Apple Green
  • Pacific Point
  • Gorgeous Grape

I stamped little hearts in the centre of the big hearts. They look so cute. I made two versions of this card. The one above is less busy than the one below. Which do you prefer?

Most of the time we tend to use embossing folders with plain cardstock. I’ve used it here with the Distressed Gold speciality paper. It gives a great effect so different to using it with plain cardstock. I’ve used the Metal Plate embossing folder and it really gives this look with the Distressed Gold paper.

How to Ink over an Embossed Background

The trick to this technique is to use a very light hand when inking over your embossed image. You just need to glide your blending brush over the embossed image with no pressure at all. This way it will pick up the raised embossing only.

I’ve kept this card very tonal. The silver spring charm is quite chunky so make sure it is securely attached using glue dots or wet glue.

This fox looks a lot redder in the photo than he does in real life. I coloured him using a water painter and Cajun Craze ink pad. You can mix colours to colour the little fox in as well. The grass is Old Olive and the sky is Balmy Blue. I love playing with colours. It’s such fun.

I am back with another Friday Focus post. Today we are looking at colour theory again. I am using complementary colours today to make my focal image really pop off the background. These are the wonderful Tulip Dies that you can use to make any number of different flowers. Just play around with the elements to create a flower that you like the look of. There is no wrong way to put these together.

Complementary colours are those opposite each on the colour wheel:

  • Red & Green
  • Yellow & Purple
  • Blue & Orange
