Hey y'all, how's your Wednesday starting off? I spent some time yesterday organizing our storage closet (for the third time!) and today's plans include grocery shopping and organizing my personal cookbooks. I have two giant binders of recipes; ones I've used and liked, I type up on the computer, print them out, and put them in plastic page protectors in the binders. I tend to make a mess when I cook, so the page protectors keep the recipes clean : ) And then any recipes that I find on the internet that I want to try, I print them out and put them in the appropriate section of the binders so I can find all the chicken recipes in one place. But I have a giant stack of recipes to try that I haven't put in the cookbooks yet.
Anyway, enough yapping about my cookbooks. I have a card to share today!
A couple of months ago, I joined a group on Facebook for buying and selling retired Stampin' Up! products, thinking that I would thin out some things that I just don't use...but really all I've done so far is buy several stamp sets ; ) Rainbow of Happiness was the first thing to come to mind when I saw the Paper Players color challenge:
I used Gray Granite for the greeting stamp on my rainbow and otherwise kept strictly to the challenge colors. I thought that Stitched So Sweetly die shape was perfect with the rainbow, so I floated that on some stitched rectangles but the card still needed something. Happily I found some Lemon Lolly baker's twine in my stash, which was just the touch this card needed.
When I was little (like under the age of 7), my bedroom was painted yellow very similar to Lemon Lolly, and I had an accent wall done with rainbow wallpaper, so this card reminds me of that bedroom. It's already out in the mail to my parents. Adult me absolutely loathes wallpaper though so good thing there isn't any in our house or I'd be stripping it off post haste. Still want to paint everything though.
Okay, time to get the kiddo ready for school. Cheers, y'all!

These colours make such a pretty rainbow, Christy. I'd never thought of them as such until I saw this lovely card. I like the way you've enhanced the colours with the different layers. I love the twine too. Thanks for joining in with my colour challenge at The Paper Players. It's always a pleasure to see what you've created.:-)
ReplyDeleteChristy, this is such a darling card! Your rainbow is adorable in these colors and I love the sentiment. Nice that you offset the panel a bit and added the baker's twine! So glad you found time to join us at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the card---how sweet is this? I just spent half an hour looking for a recipe in my folders....I am afraid I have waaaaay too many recipes and not even enough time left in my life to use them all! I can sympathize! Anyway, adorable card, and we're thrilled you played with us at the Players this week!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable card, Christy! The challenge colors are perfect for a rainbow. I LOVE the layers and the angles. The delicate floral paper is so sweet. Thank you for playing with The Paper Players this week!
