Rainbow Challenge – with some friends!

June 12, 2016 by Sandy Allnock 69 Comments [featured_image}

I was tagged for the Rainbow Challenge by Marika – one of my patrons. So I decided to not only take her up on it, but to challenge a bunch of other people too. So we’re having our own little hop in this bonus post!

Watercolor Inlay Diecuts – Rainbow Challenge

I’ve had the All Inside stamp and die sets for quite a while, and they’ve been in my “USE ME SOON!” box. Well now, I used them, wheee! I am a stamping nooglehead, as I’ve said before, so I decided to stamp *just* the face of the bear and save myself all that alignment. I used my MISTI to make it happen, and then watercolored my heart out! Watch the video below or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube.

The card is nice and flat with just the heard and hands having a little dimension 🙂Sandy Allnock Rainbow Challenge 1

On the inside, I stamped my sentiment from another Essentials by Ellen set, and added a little diecut Bitty Envelope that I watercolored.

    This was a great tutorial. I had no idea how to do that kind of die cutting. I think I see a rainbow card in my future.

    Very creative design! The inset dies add an extra punch of interest without the need for more dimension. What a great idea! And I love the way you colored everything! The bear is super cute there in Rainbowville!
