Hello friends!
So one of my cards is inspired by one cardmaker, and are my own participation in a hop I missed signing up for 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️. Let me explain. Justine Hovey hosted a Papercrafters Unite Against Racism Blog Hop that was a couple of days ago. You can check out her post HERE <-----click! as there's a lot of info and a LOT of links to other participants. I didn't see the sign up until it was too late but I wanted to create these cards and share my post and video.
I saw Laura Bassen's card on Instagram and it just spoke to me. I love everything she posts regardless - she is the QUEEN of color blocking and rainbow and patterns! Plus her videos are hilarious. Anywho - her card was perfection. I have the same stamp set she used (and I've used it a couple of times now in videos) and the sentiment took on a whole new meaning for me. So I put my own spin on it and made these cards:
I die cut 2 sets of rainbows from Ranger watercolor paper with Simon Says Stamp's Build a Rainbow wafer die. These are A2 cards so you can see how large this die is. I show in the video how I taped the pieces so that I could paint all the rainbow stripes in different colors.
I used the Prima Complexion watercolor palette to paint all the skin tones for one card, and the Prima Classics to paint the rainbow colors on the second card. The sentiment is from the Stronger Together stamp set and I stamped that with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.
On the insides of both cards I had die cut the Rainbow Heart wafer die from the same Ranger watercolor paper. I painted the rainbow pieces the same way - and then adhered all of it inside the cards. This way the hearts are inlaid in the card stock and everything is flat on the inside yet there's still space to write.
I finished off the cards with the Love You sentiment from the Stronger Together set and that was it.
