MFT Rainbow of Happiness

Today we're sharing a card we created for our March Challenge, creating uplifting cards for the homeless community in Seattle.  If you'd like to find out more information regarding this month's challenge, visit this LINK.


The sun and rainbow were cut from watercolor paper using the new Sunny Skies and Rainbow die from MFT Stamps. We then colored them using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.  The sentiment came from the Rainbow of Happiness stamp set, also NEW from MFT Stamps.  To add a little interest to the background, we used the Staggered Heart stencil and some Spun Sugar Distress ink to create a subtle heart pattern behind the rainbow.


It's hard to see in the images, but we covered the sun with some Wink of Stella in clear to give it a wonderful shimmer.  The heart has a layer of Glossy Accents.
