The beauty of making your own cards by hand….you can tailor them exactly to your needs. I would much rather spend hours in my craft room creating the perfect card….vs standing in front of a card display hopeless searching for the perfect card. My card is heavily inspired by Jennifer McGuire. I created my rainbow background by blending Distress Oxide Inks and then water stamping a large background stamp over the panel for added interest. I die cut my sentiment from the same panel. My sentiment is cut from three layers of cardstock for added dimension.
I created another rainbow panel for the inside for added color. My sentiment is printed with the Olivia Script font.
