I've been obsessed with rainbow paper crafting lately. Give me lots of color on a neutral card background and I swoon. If I haven't mentioned this before (but I think I have, lol), sometimes card ideas come to my brain as I'm drifting off to sleep. Does that happen to you? I have yet to make myself wake up enough to jot them down. But if I'm lucky enough to remember them the next morning, I make a quick sketch and write a few notes so that when I have time to sit and create I can!
Enter this rainbow card:
If I also haven't mentioned, clean and simple cards appeal to me the most and I think this fits the bill. I used the heart die from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits die set on 1/2" Melon Mambo, Calypso Coral, So Saffron, Lemon Lime Twist, Bermuda Bay, and Fresh Fig card stock strips. You can see the die here:
After I adhered the strips to a Thick Whisper White panel, I attached it to a Thick Whisper White card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Then I took a length of Basic Black Metallic Thread around my fingers several times and tacked it to the card front. The sentiment is from the Birthday Blooms stamp set and after I stamped it, I die cut a stitched circle and placed it over the thread with more Stampin' Dimensionals.
Because I had so many little hearts from die cutting, I took one of the Melon Mambo hearts and painted some Wink of Stella over top. Then I covered it in the Fine Tip Glue and let it dry. Look and sparkly and shiny it is!
And that's it! Leave me a comment telling me whether you love the rainbow craze or you could do without it. I won't be mad if you don't like rainbow paper crafting. ;) But I hope you do, too.

Here's a Tuesday Tidbit I came across that made me happy that I'm a crafter.
