I visited Merry Monday this morning and saw the current challenge and just had to give it a go!
Below is the inspiration for this challenge - I thought I would give sponging a try for this challenge, after all rainbow is the theme and rainbows have that lovely blending of colour when they appear in the sky.
I decided to use a tree from the Peaceful Pines stamp set; using the edge of the stamp pad I carefully put a small segment of each of the colours listed below and stamped onto Whisper White cardstock. I re-stamped using Versamark, applied Heat power to attach the Dazzling diamonds. I used the Softly Falling TIEF, then sponged each of the colours, applying slighly heavier on the edge of the cardstock, I used the same process again to apply a light coverage of Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. The sentiment is from Petite Pairs.
My Husband was like "WOW, I really like that" when I showed him!
I am really glad I decided to give this challenge a go, I would not have gone out of my way to use rainbows for Christmas, but after seeing the end result here I think it will be a combination that I use again.
Thanks for popping by today, hope you enjoyed your visit,
