She's a rainbow

Every once in awhile you make a card and you just sit back and think "Wow!!! I made that!" Well... that is exactly how I feel about this card. I just love the pastel rainbow of flamingos. It just makes me smile. besides, who doesn't love a rainbow?!!? Laura Bassen has made a career out of rainbows!!

That is why I expect lots of players this month at The Rainbow Card Challenge!! All month long we want you to use a pastel rainbow in your creations.

I used Rubbernecker's "Splash Party". Disclaimer here- this is a tricky stamp to use. It took me several tries to get the beaks in place. You all think we designers just whip out our cards, but you never see all the cards in the trash. This perfect sentiment is from Altenew's "Birds of a Feather". 

Today's music inspiration is a classic from The Stones- The Rolling Stones: "She's a Rainbow".

You have all month to play along with our pastel rainbow card challenge at The Rainbow Card Challenge.

School started last night, but I am still going to keep crafting. I don't thinkthis class will be quite as challenging as my last. 

I created today's card for the challenge at Addicted to CAS. They want you to use pink! Well that is a no brainer. My Mom's favorite color was pink. She loved it so much that my brothers and I knew she had to be buried in a pink coffin!!! Who knew there was such a thing!

Anyway I digress. Not only did my mom love pink, but my crafting buddy Margarita says all the time- "Pink is the most beautiful color in the world!!". This card is for her, especiallty since she has a birthday coming up next week.

The flamingo and sentiments are from a no longer available set from Reverse Confetti. Are flamingos no longer popular? I seem to be a day late and a dollar short with these stamping trends!! 😀

I used a new Tim Holtz stencil for the background. It seems to be my go to stencil lately.

I even finished the inside of the card. I liked this card so much I made it in turquoise and might it in yellow.

There is only one day left for this pink challenge at Addicted to CAS, if you have time check it out!!
