Lately, I haven't had much time to spend at Splitcoast or playing along with their challenges. But I'm always so excited when I discover that one of my friends is chosen as Splitcoast's Queen for the Day or Featured Stamper! This Friday's QFTD is Bonnie. I really enjoyed going through her gallery, there were so many amazing cards to choose from - I finally settled on this one:
You know I love a rainbow, and this card of Bonnie's shows a clever way to use your scraps. I used distress inks to create my rainbow, but I over-stamped using Stampin' Up's Mixed Bunch to represent the patterns on Bonnie's rainbow.
Fantastic card Ardyth, your patterned rainbow looks amazing and I love the peek of glitter at the edges. Great take on Bonnie's card :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE! Awesome blending, Ardyth, love the overstamped flower bursts and the glittered edges ... just stunning! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I love the rainbow and the touch of glitter is perfect.
ReplyDeleteWOW!Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful card - love the gorgeous, vibrant rainbow.

We will from now on call you "Ardyth, Queen of the Rainbows". This is so pretty. Happy and bright. Love the subtle flower and the bit o' sparkle. Perfectly popped against the gray too. Have a good Sunday. Bev
ReplyDeleteI love the softness of the flower-pattrned rainbow. And, of course, the Stickles highlights it perfectly!
ReplyDeleteWow Ardyth you outdid yourself, this is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job melding one color into the next! I really must try some distress inks if this is what can be achieved. Love the over-stamp - adds a subtle bit of pop to the rainbow!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Ardyth! I want to CASE this!
ReplyDeleteNice case of Bonnie's card! Like the added sparkle "stitches." :)
ReplyDeleteACK!! I love this one!! It's like my most favorite strip of washi tape (if I could commission a roll). Super-amazing. Love the gray border too. I can't keep my hands off gray recently.
ReplyDeleteWowzer! Your rainbow colors are so beautiful! A wonderful homage to Bonnie's card!
ReplyDeleteElements that make a perfect card;
ReplyDeleteRainbow - check!
Black - check!
Grey - check!
I LOVE this, it's a real stunner ;)
Wow, really stunning card.
ReplyDeleteI love how your rainbow flows from colour to colour and the subtle stamping looks brilliant :0)
ReplyDeleteAwesome CASE! Your masking is always so crisp and Ilove the flowers you used.
ReplyDeleteI love this so, I want to CASE it back! I will combine it with a technique I haven't tried that looks fun (using candy cupcake sprinkles for a watercolory dots look)..Current papercrafts magazine. When I get around to it, I will post back to you!!! :)
