You’re A Treasure–Whimsy August Release


Happy Thursday, Happy August and Happy Whimsy Release day!  The August release is full of gorgeous stamps and dies and while many of theme are themed for the Autumn, I am holding onto Summer just a wee bit longer with this card!

I was so thrilled to see the new  Array of Rainbows Die Set that was included in the August release.  It is such a versatile set and was the starting off point for this card.


I thought it would be fun to create a scene with one of the mermaids from the Mermaid Birthday Clear Stamps and combine it with a rainbow.  I think that one of the mermaids from the new Mermaid Escape set would also work very well!




To create the rainbow, I die-cut the larger rainbow from the set out of white card-stock and then colored the strips using copic markers.  I used the Wavy Nested Frames Die Set to create a window and then added a piece of vellum to define the water and sky line.  I lined the very top of the vellum with Nuvo glitter to serve as some sea foam.  There is a layer of foam in between the layers to raise it up slightly.  I also blending the background and the card top using the new blender brushes and some distress ink. They are linked below. These brushes are a game changer. I love how easily they blend!

The images were colored using various Copic markers and then fussy cut before adhering them to the card. I stupidly forgot to keep a note of the ones that I used :(

I hope that this card inspired you to create your own rainbow-themed card! Thanks for stopping by!
