It definitely gave my heart a boost and I am excited I have a card to share with you today!!

Rainbow was the one thing that came to my mind to do. We all need a little hope right now, right?! And that's what rainbows are for me...a sign of hope that there is light after the storm. 💖
So how did I make this rainbow?! Well I used this fabulous Sale-A-Bration stamp set called, Thoughtful Blooms. I have used this stamp set A TON, but have mostly used the flowers. This time I used this stamp:
Don't you just LOVE this stamp set! Just a few more days to earn it FREE!!!! Or any of the other Sale-A-Bration options!!! Click below to check them all out!!! Including the Small Bloom Punch that I also used on this card. I LOVE LOVE this too!!! 😍😍😍
So I stamped the image in rainbow order...inking it up with a different color each time. Then after, I took an Aqua Painter and colored in the image with the same color I stamped it with. (In order ... Melon Mambo, Mango Melody, Pineapple Punch, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape) Then I also embossed a piece of Vellum Cardstock with the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder and sewed it onto the front of the card.
I also really love this ribbon, the Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon from the
MINI CATALOG. Personally...I think it is the perfect touch to this card.
And how much fun are the fun white blooms? 😀
I hope you enjoy this card! And feel that there is a little hope that this craziness will end at some point. Please stay safe and healthy! Let me know if there is anything I can do for you!
