Hi again! I'm back to share the fun little card I made last week. But first, I wanted to THANK YOU all so much for the really sweet comments you left on my last post!! You all are soooo sweet!!
A while ago, I received some new buttons (the Bright Collection from Stampin' Up!)I and had them scattered on my desk to see them better. Immediately I started arranging the pretty bright colors into a rainbow pattern. I don't know what it is exactly, but I loooooove colors all lined up in rainbow order!! Happy sigh... It just makes me so warm and happy inside! My affection for all things rainbow has even earned me a new nickname! Julee has taken it upon her self to call me "Rainbow Stamper"! LOL! Me thinks I should come up with a nick name for her, too! Teeheheheee!

I realize that these colors don't follow the "written" rainbow rule so to speak, but I liked it better this way! :-)
To create my card, I started by stamping the small flower (from the Many Blessings set by Verve) six times. I used my Copics to color in the leaves. I didn't color in the flowers, because I knew my buttons would cover them. A little bit of wavy stitching grounded my colorful button flowers. :-) The sentiment (also from the Many Blessings set) is stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
Speaking of Verve sets...a LOT of them are on sale!!! The Many Blessings set I used here is on sale for 50% off!!! I KNOW!!! The deals are amazing!! You can check out the Verve homepage for a list of all the sets that are 50% off, 35% off, & 15% off!
Well, that's all from me today! I will be back tomorrow with the first of the promised BLOG CANDY!!! Woohooo!
Have a great day! ~Laurie (aka the Rainbow Stamper)
