Hi Everyone!
It’s that time of the month where Spellbinders hosts a blog hop showcasing the month’s kits and giving you lovely crafty people some more project inspiration now you probably have your hands on your kits. It’s no secret that I simply LOVED the September Glimmer of the Month. THAT RAINBOW! And it seems a lot of you did too! I’m back to share another project that looks a little different from my last as part of today’s hop.
Of course there is a giveaway so stay tuned for details and the next stop on the hop!
To create my card I first made the background. I took a panel of sky blue textured cardstock (from an older Spellbinders card kit) and adhered several clouds die cutting using the kit die from white cardstock. I used different layers of foam tape to create a semi random, dimensional ‘sky’. I trimmed off the excess clouds from the edge, and then added some Antique Gold spray splatters to co-ordinate with my foiling.
My rainbow was hotfoiled onto Cotton Letterpress white cardstock using Matte Gold Glimmer Foil. Before foiling, scribbled a few Copics onto the cardstock, blending them together. I used Y00, YR00, RV52, and R12. To foil, I inserted the arches from the rainbow into the hot foil plate rainbow outline and foiled it all in one go. I then die cut it out – but left the arches in the outline. I just love the soft blended look this gives! I popped the rainbow up over the clouds with more foam squares.
My sentiment was foiled in the same way using the left over scribble scrap to create a pretty, ombre sentiment. I then trimmed it out, popped it up with a slight bend to create an arch, and added a few iridescent crystals to finish.

Awww I LOVE how you did the sky and the rainbow is awesome!
I just love this card! I really like the blue sky (here in Seattle where skies are so often gray, blue makes us happy!). The cute clouds everywhere and beautiful rainbow popped up is just perfect! Splatters and jewels are a perfect finish. This will definitely be my next glimmer die set purchase.
