I took thin strips of white cardstock & did wrinkle free distress technique using distress oxide inks. (In other words, skinny dipping.) I used all 12 colors, just playing to see what I'd get. I didn't really do any layering, but I really love the results. And I have enough strips to make at least 5 or 6 more card backgrounds.
For letter F, I used flowers and the word friend. To color the flowers, I pressed the oxide ink pads on acetate, spritzed with water and used a waterbrush to paint the image.
I told DH that I think I'd love a house with siding like this (horizontal, of course). He wasn't thrilled with the idea.

Fabulous. Love the colored strips. Your technique turned out fantastic. Love the tulips (a personal favorite flower). The sentiment is terrific for your card and the challenge. Fun title for your card post! TFS

Your bg is amazing and such a super reflection of the rainbow sentiment. . . . .I hope DH reconsiders the siding issue lol - I'd live in a house that looked like that - FOR SURE!
