Cardabilities#98 {rainbows}

I had some fun with this card. I love when I get a chance to stamp for the love of it. I actually had a lot of inspiration going into the card. First off, I was inspired by Stacey to use my Gelatos.  You can see her card here. Gosh, the background is gorgeous.

Now,  I only have 4 colors of Gelatos, and I think I need to change that soon.  I used 3 of them here. I started with a piece of kraft cs and gave it a quick wash of white gesso. After that dried, I colored on my three colors of Gelatos, and then misted with water. I used my fingers to blend them.  I used the Stitched Mats-rectangle die from Lil' Inker Designs to cut my base to build the rest of the elements on this card. 

 I was also inspired by the current Cardabilities #98 challenge. I loved all the little bits and pieces the sketch called for. I used a small detailed circle die from Delicate Doliy Die-namics and all the rest of my die cut pieces are from Reverse Confetti (all links listed below). I stamped the sentiment from Dream in Color  in Sweet Tooth Pigment ink and then covered it with white embossing powder. I love how the white just pops against the fun, summery colors. 

Here is the sketch I used. I'm linking up on the Cardabilities Blog. 

I'm also playing along with this week's Simon Says Stamp Wed. Challenge-Anything Goes. Easy Peasy! Thanks for stopping by.

Rc and Deconstructed Sketch {begin with yourself}

I've got a quick one for you today. Pulled out some yummy fall papers, my Reverse Confetti set, Count Your Rainbows, and got busy with the current Deconstructed Sketch123. 

This quote in the Count Your Rainbow set is so encouraging and I think this card is perfect to send to a friend or loved one, just because. I added a few stars from Inner Rock Star.  Some sequins, a bit of burlap ribbon and a few staples. 

Thanks for stopping by today. I'll be back on Monday with more goodies. 

Have a Great weekend!
