CAS-ual Fridays Rainbows!

Happy Friday crafty friends! And it's time for the by-monthly CAS-ual Fridays Challenge! This week it's all about rainbows! This theme works for me, warmer temps, the snow is melting and it makes my heart happy like rainbows!

I picked-up some go the Taylored Expressions Inks and I decided that they were perfect for this background! I started by stamping my background using the wonderfully graphic CAS-ual Fridays Modern Petals border stamp with Catherine Pooler Midnight Ink. I decided to emboss the black with Hero Arts Sparkle Embossing Powder, you can't see it well in the picture but it leave such pretty effect. I also wanted to ensure that my black ink didn't run with the ink blending.

To blend my ink I started with Lollipop (gorgeous pink), then used Lemon Meringue and it gave me a beautiful orange when mixed with the pink, then added Cookie Monster and that gave me the green, blue green and finished with the Lollipop again which gave me the blue and the purple. It was seriously effortless and I love the effect.

I die cut my Scallop Tag from Vellum and white embossed my sentiment from Puffy Heart Love. I used clear dimensional squares (cut to size) on the back of the sentiment and popped up my tag on the panel and glued it to the card base. I used some Lawn Fawn Lawn Trimmings and Rainbow gems by Lucie's Little Things.

Happy Friday crafty friends! Time for another fun CAS-ual Friday's Challenge! We are all about rainbows this week!

My project features some of the new amazing products released last week and you can find them in the
CAS-ual Friday's shop

I absolutely wanted to play with the new Modern Petals border stamp set. I pulled out a rainbow of pigment inks and my Misti, I chose pigment inks because they are very vibrant and easy to wipe off on the parts of the stamp that I didn't want inked.  To be able to have to room for a rainbow of colours I only inked up half of the stamp.

I then wanted a bold black sentiment so I chose the Smiling Fri-Die, I backed my black card stock with StickIt adhesive and some fun foam for more dimension. I paired the Smile sentiment with the sweet friend from the Special Delivery stamp set and white embossed it on black card stock. Finally I coloured in the little hearts with a red Copic glitter pen (can't remember what they are actually called...) 

I took some gold thread (it was actually my Grandmother's and there is still plenty of it left!) put my card together and finished it off with some gold Pretty Pink Posh sequins and added Glossy Accents to the Smile die cut!

I had the pleasure of meeting Michele the owner and designer of CAS-ual Friday's during a business trip to Denver last week. She is a wonderful classy lady, love her product and I am happy I was able to put a face to the brand!
