Hi friends,
Erin Lee Creative has a fantastic new kit today which coordinates with the previously-released Somewhere Kit. It's called Look On the Bright Side, and it has a die, stencil and stamp sets with the most perfect sentiments for encouragement cards. There is also a rainbow alphabet set available as an add-on.
Join us in our blog hop today and comment to enter for a giveaway (see below).
Isn't this a great kit?
My first card uses the rainbow burst stencil. I pounced white ink through the stencil, then I used Polychromos pencils to color over the white ink. This technique allows the color to stand out on dark cardstock. Of course I had to add a little shine and glitter, so I colored over parts of the rainbow and rays with a shimmer pen.
My next two cards were inspired by a T-shirt ad I came across, and I loved the ombré of skin tones. I really believe that good things are coming, and I absolutely believe that we rise by lifting others. When we work together and see each other as equals, we are all uplifted. We get to make those good things happen!
For these cards I die cut the rainbow out of four shades of brown cardstock. (That means I get to make 4 cards with all the combinations!) Then I die cut the rainbow again with sticky-backed fun foam, which kept the pieces together long enough to adhere the cardstock. The first card has some hearts from the original kit masked, glittered and heat embossed in clear. Peeking out from behind the rainbow is the dotted impression left by the Horizon Burst Die, once again glittered with a shimmer pen.
The second card needed just a little heart and some sequins for shine.
I have been sending a lot of encouragement and friendship cards in these last few months, so this kit is perfect.
