#121 Rainbow Vista

I want to apologise for being missing over the past week. We've changed internet service provider and had a few hiccups at first. Hopefully these are all resolved now. However, my husband is very poorly and so crafting time has been sidelined to some extent.

The theme for the challenge over at One Stitch at a Time is 'Sun' and I think my card is sunny! Maybe too sunny? The image I used is 'Rainbow Vista' by Claire of Hope Jacare over at Stitchybear Digital Stamps Shop. I loved colouring this quirky image, I love Claire's designs full stop.

I used a card blank by Craft UK and the cream backing paper is by Papermill. The shiny yellow card is by Payper Box and all the other papers and card are by Papermill. I coloured the image with Promarkers and cut with the Spellbinders grand circle nestie before edging with Distress Ink in Squeezed Lemonade. I used various sizes in Spellbinders circle nesties for the background circles. Two of them are coloured with a flower pattern from a Creative Expressions Mask. To finish it off it only needed the 'You make me smile' sentiment from Lili of the Valley. I think we will all smile in the UK if we ever see the sun again this year. This digi image is perfect for this year's summer in the UK - rain, sun, rain, sun, rainbow and more rain! 

The sponsor this week is Creative Craft - do check on the OSAAT challenge blog for the prize structure.

I'm entering my card in to the following challenges:
My Grafico - Summer Bright Colours
Squigglefly - Summer Colours
Crafty Sentiments - Summertime
Oldie but a Goodie - Summertime - The Creative Expressions Mask
