For the challenge TLC472 Rainbows Before Gold
and for my SIL's (Sarah) birthday
This card is so WAY out of comfort zone it isn't even funny! BUT I have always loved rainbows and at one time even decorated with them (in the 80's) and had a complete line of clothing and accessories in rainbows.
I made and remade this card about 6 times...then I spritzed in all the colors I used. I made a Bakers Twine bow in all the colors (this is Peggy not knowing when to stop) but decided against it in the light of day. I decided to photgraph it outside this morning because the light was difused with a light overcast. I added the little yellow plastic things, they are not pearls... and if anyone has a real name for them, please tell me.
I tried to find an image that had not yet been used (I haven't checked the gallery this morning so that may not be true). I have always loved this Tim Holtz clear set with the birds. Oh...I also tried to stamp a tree and put different colored birds in it....NOT... I didn't have the right tree or the right birds! I also tried (this is in addition to the 6 times I stamped this one) a flourish stamp in a circle also NOT good...
I woke up this morning with a variety of colors on my hands, and a wastebasket full of colorful discards! All in all, a good time was had... even it took me about 6 hours to create this challenge card. :-)
