HYCCT1528 Rainbows - the Promise of a Better Tomorrow Chat Thread
Challenge Title: RAINBOWS - The Promise of a Better Tomorrow
Hostess: rgrohall Rebecca Grohall
Keyword: HYCCT1528
Date: Wednesday, October 28, 2015
Rainbows speak directly to the heart and soul. They are a visual reminder to us of the promise of a better tomorrow. References to the rainbow as a promise are found in the Bible (after the flood) but rainbows are universal. They are found in all cultures and religions - including Native American, Celtic, Buddhist, and Hindu. Rainbows can represent many things: life, hope, divinity, promise, creation, potential, provision, harmony, and connection (to name a few!).
So, your challenge is to make a card with a rainbow, or use a rainbow of color (think ROY G BIV), the rainbow can be made with ink, paper, ribbon, rhinestones, etc.
The technique I used is "striped wipe" - there is a Splitcoast tutorial, and I like to use a binder clip (instead of my fingers) to hold the towellette together. Dye Ink Reinker Card Pattern Tutorial by Beate Johns. There is TONS of inspiration in the gallery too!
