Birthday Rainbow

The first thing I thought of when I saw Basics: Tiny Dot Clusters was that the little scoop images on the bottom left corner looked like upside down rainbows. So of course I had to flip them over and pair the image with Basics: Rainbow Builder!

I began by repeatedly stamping the cluster image from Basics: Tiny Dot Clusters using black ink on white cardstock for a bold background.

For the focal image I stamped the rainbow from Basics: Rainbow Builder. I used two colors of ink for each stripe for a blended look. I white heat embossed onto black paper the scripty Happy Birthday sentiment from INKED Girl: Lani. After this picture was taken I added glossy accents onto the rainbow stripes for a raised shiny effect.

When constructing this card the background was a bit too bold and the rainbow was hard to see. To fix this I added a rectangle piece of vellum to soften the center and help the rainbow stand out. I added a bold black border around the card, and popped the rainbow and sentiment up on foam for dimension.

Thanks so much for coming to the blog to check out this card! If you’re interested in these products, or anything else at Ink Road Stamps, you can use BECCA10 for 10% off of your order.
