Taste the Rainbow

Ha!  I'm posting!  I have gone through a dry spell of card making but not for lack of trying.  So glad I finally put something together I didn't want to immediately burn.  I'm sure you've had times like that too.  A Halloween project I'm working on for a party had reinvigorated my mojo.  Yes!

For this card, I diecut the sentiment thrice out of a leftover watercolored panel, taking care to keep the rainbow (can't help but think of "taste the rainbow"--damn you, Skittles ads!) in proper sequence.  I then diecut the thanks from the card front and ran that through a cloud embossing folder before nestling the rainbow thanks in there.  I rounded a corner and sprinkled on a few sequins for good measure.  Ooh, and I added a lot of Glossy Accents to the sentiments to make them fab shiny.

The Details:  Simon Says Thanks die, Paper Studio clouds embossing folder, Recollections white cardstock, Pretty Pink Posh sequins

I'm entering this in Less Is More #191 Mostly Words, Simon Says Anything Goes, and Keep It Simple #49 No Stamps

    Gotta love rainbows and this jumped out at me from the Gallery at LIM. Love all those glossy 'thanks' and the embossed clouds are so crisp. Fantabulous! And I totally know about the whole 'loss of Mojo' feeling. Its horrible but amazing how one thing can spark your brain back on again. So good to see you back!!
