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!
