A rainbow greeting

After working hard in my backyard yesterday afternoon, I was able to spend a little crafty time in my basement where I made two cards, using this week's Make It Monday at Papertrey Ink: background patterns from patterned paper scraps.

 Here's the first card. I thought the sentiment stamp needed a rainbow to go with it, so I stacked up some patterned paper scraps to make one.


I used Papertrey Ink cardstock (rustic white, classic kraft), stamps (movers & shakers sentiments) & dies (happy day, clouds). The patterned paper is all Crate Paper, except the green polka-dots, which is My Mind's Eye. I added some Martha Stewart glitter to the clouds.

 I stitched a pocket to slip in a continuation to the sentiment:


 Thanks for looking!

How cool! Leigh, I must say that I just adore the label over the clouds. Loving the sewn textured strips too. Very clever. Fab card!

What a fabulous card Leigh, a sweet rainbow of color beneath some soft puffy clouds, just so much fun!
