Sunshine And Rainbows Clean And Simple PP575

by Joanne James23. January 2022 09:00

Today it's Sunday and time for this week's new challenge over at The Paper Players! It's the turn of the fabulous Jaydee to host this week and she has my favourite, a sketch, challenge for you to work with:

 

I love Jaydee's sketch this week and could have made a ton of different cards with it! Having seen the lovely Jaydee's card before I made mine, I noticed she had focused on the top portion with her design. I was naturally drawn to filling the bottom section, so decided to take my inspiration from Jaydee's interpretation of the sketch and instead focus on creating detail on the top portion of my card. This is what I came up with:

 

Here's the low-down on today's card:

I decided to use a piece of the Sale-A-bration Sunshine & Rainbows designer paper to decorate the top portion of my card, and then the rainbow border die to edge my white panel below. I paper-pieced my rainbows across my border edge and then added a sentiment using the rainbow-topped diecut that also features in the Brilliant Rainbows Dies pack. In addition to paper-piecing a larger rainbow on the top of my sentiment tab, I added a sentiment from the 'Rainbow of Happiness' stamp set and added a trio of clouds and a tiny resin heart that I coloured pink using my Magenta Madness Blends marker:

I didn't set out to make a clean and simple card this week, but I really love the end result! I am linking my card up with the lovely ladies over at SUO Challenges too as they are focusing on clean and simple cards for their current challenge.

Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

Very cute! I do like the way you've made the sentiment into a tag while keeping the integrity of the sketch.

that's so pretty Joanne.  Like you, I'd automatically go for filling the bottom portion with pattern, but I might just have to have a rethink now!

Sometimes when we create something different than we had it mind at first, we end up with a masterpiece. No surprise! That's what happened here. You rocked this sketch with your CAS card, Joanne!

I love your sweet rainbows, Joanne!  The detail of paper piecing all those teeny rainbows in the border really sends this card over the top, and that tiny heart accent, oh my!  My room was decorated in rainbows when I was little Smile

I love the look of the colored patterned paper at the top with the negative space below.  It draws your eye immediately to your focal point.  Great work.
