Last week's 'Any Shade of Pink' colour challenge at The Paper Players produced absolutely fantastic entries. It was hard to pick just one Cut Above! I hope that Nance's CAS Rainbow challenge excites your creativity just as much.
Of course, the tricky part of this challenge is to remember the Clean and Simple part: lots of clean space, limited layers and few embellishments.
Originally, I masked and stencilled this as a one layer card. The problem was that because the pattern of the stencil has gaps in it, the edge of the design was lost and it just looked as though I'd stencilled it crookedly. My solution was to cut the card front into three pieces, trim the white panels by 5mm and attach them to the black base.
In keeping with my original one layer idea, I'd stamped the sentiment directly on to the panel, so added some rhinestones to draw the eye to it. I am happy with the transition of rainbow colours across the card.
We'd love to see what you do with this CAS theme challenge. Here's a reminder of the rules of the challenge.
