Supplies Needed:
- Colored cardstock strips (rainbow colors)
- Marshmallow Coloring cardstock
- Cloud stencil
- Distress Oxide inks (Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, or your preferred shades)
- Blending brushes
- Die-cut clouds
- Greatest Treasure stamp set (Pajama Crafter Stamps)
- Copic markers
- Black ink for stamping
- Adhesive (liquid glue, foam tape)
- Paper trimmer
- Die-cutting machine (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Stencil a Cloud Background
Using a cloud stencil and Distress Oxide inks, lightly blend a soft sky onto another white cardstock piece. Begin at the top, moving downward in layers to create a dreamy sky effect. Use a circular motion with your blending brush for smooth transitions
Step 2: Create the Rainbow with Paper Strips
Cut cardstock strips in rainbow colors (about 1/4 inch wide). Arrange them diagonally, overlapping slightly for a seamless look. Adhere them onto the stenciled cardstock panel and trim off any excess for a clean edge.
Step 3: Die-Cut and Arrange Clouds
Die-cut fluffy clouds from white cardstock and arrange them around the rainbow. Adhere some with foam tape to create dimension and depth.
Step 4: Stamp & Color the Greatest Treasure Images
Stamp the adorable images from the Greatest Treasure set using black ink. Color them with Copic markers, blending shades for a professional finish. Cut them out and adhere them near the clouds and rainbow for a whimsical touch.
Step 5: Assemble the Card
Layer the cloud-stenciled panel onto a card base, then adhere the rainbow panel on top. Add the die-cut clouds and colored images. For extra fun, embellish with sequins, glitter, or a sentiment from the stamp set.
