A rainbow of colours .......

Happy weekend to you,

It's a little late in the day I know but ...... Happy World Cardmaking Day!  Have you been spending time creating ..... made anything nice?

I've been playing around with DT stuff all day .... and getting nowhere fast!!! Started lots of projects but nothing's finished.  The good thing is, nothing has ended up in the bin ....yet!!

I have managed to play along with the  Merry Monday Christmas Card challenge this week .......


Hmmm ...... use a rainbow of colours ...... on a Christmas card!  Not my usual style but here goes ....


This is about as rainbow coloured as it gets for me.
I've used an old Hero Arts (I think!) clear stamp. stamped in Black Versafine, and then coloured the fairy lights using Copic Markers


A touch of Stardust Gel Pen here and there, and a sprinkling of Chunky White Embossing Enamel to give the snowy look .... .well it is a Christmas card!

I finished off with a festive greeting from the HLS Mixed Christmas Sentiments stamp set .....


and added a few more of those rainbow coloured fairy lights to the inside .....


Rainbow coloured enough do you think?  I hope so!

Well that's it from me today ......... and I've timed it perfectly.  I can hear the over beeping so that means dinner is just about ready ....... yum!!

Thanks for popping by ..... have a lovely evening and enjoy the rest of World Cardmaking Day

Cheerio until next time

It's a wonderful rainbow! Love the CAS look and the dusting of snow too. Isn't this Mixed Christmas Sentiment set so versatile & pretty? The simple stamped image works so perfectly with the string of rainbow lights. TFS & for entering the HLS October Christmas Challenge. Hugs
