I printed a poem about rainbows that I found on the Internet using a large bold font on white cardstock (Rainbows Are Lovely by P. Kubicki). I cut three pieces of the text and three pieces of black cardstock using a die. I then used the triple stamping/coloring method to add the rainbow to the three pieces of text by using a homemade template for the stripes and sponging each color.I adhered each text piece to its corresponding black piece and then the entire unit onto a black card base. The center piece was popped up with foam tape. Clouds and sky were added to the white background by sponging on the edge of a die. In addition to blue, yellow and orange were added to mimic stormy sky.
I also used a die to cut a cloud from white cardstock. I sponged the edges with blue, cut it into two pieces and popped them up with foam tape. For the inside I sponged the six colors of the rainbow on the right edge of the card. The sentiment was stamped, colored with markers, backed with a black die cut then popped up with foam tape.

ReplyDeleteWow, just wow! This is absolutely stunning and you have put some much time and work into this. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us at AHSC.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic variation of the triple time stamping technique--I love how you used the label shapes instead of rectangles to make this card--very clever. I love the colors and the wording too. Thanks for sharing this with us at AHSC.
