Every Shade Of Happy

 

Had some more fun "swinking" yesterday :) This one also uses the current sketch over at CAS Colours and Sketches Challenge.

I love this sentiment from Be The Rainbow (Gina K), and I thought it would be fun to pair it up with a rainbow that was created by swinking = swiping the ink pads directly onto the cardstock. I have to admit...I was pretty excited about the results :)

 

Thanks for visiting!

Hope you're having a happy Friday!!!

Look For The Rainbows

Today I'm sharing some tags I created that were inspired by this fabulous sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches:

I absolutely LOVE the Be The Rainbow stamp set (by Emily Loggans for Gina K Designs)!!! The rainbow images are super cute and the sentiments are so uplifting---just what we need during these crazy times :)

Here's the tag I designed featuring this set:

 

...and here's a look at one in each color:

I made two dozen tags in total (six of each color). I'm going to attach the tags to clear bags filled with Skittles candies and deliver them to my neighbor friends' mailboxes. Just a little something to hopefully brighten their day :)

Thanks for visiting!

I hope you're enjoying the weekend!!!

Sending Sunshine And Rainbows

The theme for the current Just Us Girls Challenge is "RAINBOWS." Oh my heart!!! I am a lover of rainbows :) They make me so happy!!! I even have rainbow trail shoes!!! They're a Merrell design that was inspired by Rainbow Mountain in Peru. Gorgeous! My husband calls me "the rainbow hunter" ;) In the summer months we frequently get late-afternoon thunderstorms, and I'm always running around looking for rainbows---ha!

Here's my card:

I was so excited to finally have a chance to ink up the Brighter Days stamp set from Concord and 9th! It's so super cute and totally fun!

I used Coral Bliss, Minty Mint and Volcano Lake (Altenew) for my rainbow colors---I wanted something more non-traditional. And I kept the rest of the card black and white so the rainbow would really pop :) What do you think???

While I was at it...I made a second version...same layout, different color combo:

These are pretty much my "go-to" rainbow colors these days. But, now I'm thinking I want to make some using bold primary colors...red, yellow, blue...hmm. Will probably give that a go later today :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Heading out to take the pup for a walk :) 

Have a wonderful day!!!
