Painted Illusions and Rainbows

Hi friends! 

Today I’m sharing one of the cards we created during this Thursday’s live card class. It was such a fun project to make together.  If you couldn’t join me live, you can always watch the replay here!

This card features February’s Product of the Month, Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper. Oooh my goodness... the colors and patterns in this paper are so beautiful. They work for so many different occasions, and I love how bold and artistic they feel.

For this card, I started with a Pretty Peacock card base and layered a piece of the Painted Illusions DSP right on the front. That paper really does most of the work for you.

Next, I took a piece of Basic White cardstock and used the Sunshine Vibes Dies to create the rainbow cut-out. I absolutely love how the colors from the DSP peek through the rainbow opening. It’s such a simple detail, but it makes the whole card feel special.

For the sentiment, I used January’s Product of the Month, Fabulous Sayings, and stamped it in Secret Sea ink just below the rainbow. A few Stampin’ Dimensionals gave the panel a little lift and finished it off perfectly.

This card reminds me of God’s promise in the rainbow, and every time I see it, I think of Philippians 4:13 — “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” There’s something so encouraging about combining creativity and faith. It’s just a sweet reminder that we’re never creating (or living) alone.
