A Rainbow for Encouragement--#tgifc258

This week's TGIF color challenge is Rainbow!!!  I decided to use a rainbow as a backdrop for a message of encouragement to a special (and beautiful!) friend.  Everyone can use a little rainbow in their lives right now.

For my rainbow, I used strips of card stock in the rainbow colors of the Brights Collection:  Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Poppy Parade, Gorgeous Grape, Pacific Point and Granny Apple Green.  These strips were glue to a piece of Whisper White card stock.  I die cut the leaves image from the Well Written dies (#148534) in Basic Black and glued it on the rainbow.  Then I put this piece through my die cutting machine with the Subtle 3D embossing folder (#151775).  I love how this folder brings the leaves and panels together into one "painted" image.

The greeting is from The Strong & Beautiful stamp set (#148732).  It was stamped and die cut with a Rectangle Stitched die (#148551).   A Basic Black layer over a Whisper White thick card base and three rhinestone "diamonds" complete the card.

There are lots of different rainbows on the projects created for this color challenge over on the TGIF Challenges blog here.

Have a wonderful Easter weekend.
