I had just recently watched and fell in love with a video on rainbow floral card ideas from Therese Calvrid (watch HERE) and decided to try it out using this sketch. Here's what I came up with...
I used a SSS stencil (Elegant Rose) and did like Therese showed in the video with using basically stripes of color with each stencil. This particular stencil is a set of 4, so each time I lined it up and started with turquoise, then purple, pink, orange and then yellow, ink blending from the top of the stencil to the bottom. You start very light with the 1st stencil and then get a shade darker with each successive stencil. Really only 3 stencils (the 4th stencil is the leaves), so you basically need light, medium & dark inks.
I used PFS's Diagonal Stitched Circle dies to cut out my rainbow rose and then inlaid to a white card base. For the strip in the sketch I used Altenew's Organic Linen embossing folder and also cut the half circle from the strip so I could continue with the inlaid look. Before I inlaid the circle, I used Sheer Shimmer Sparkle Spray on it for some shine. My sentiment comes from Gina K's A LITTLE LOVE stamp set and then finished with a few Disco Ball Sequins that are also from Gina K. This was actually my 2nd attempt at the rainbow bloom...for my first try I started with the turquoise and purple and then used orange and that made BROWN when blending...remember to use colors next to each other that blend to create another complimentary color. I guess sometimes we have to learn the hard way! Ha!
The DT as usual has wonderful ideas for using the sketch, so check them out right HERE and play along. This challenge is open till Monday, Feb. 2nd @ 3:00PM.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
