The Rainbow Connection

Hey Friends!  I'm playing along with the Sweet N Sassy Stamps VIP challenge for May!  I'm sneaking in during the last days of the challenge, because that's just how I roll!

I have my own rendition of the popular rainbow wash card above....I've seen this concept in a lot of places featuring many different companies.  For my card, I used a rainbow assortment of Ranger distress inks to create my colorful background.  Stamps from Go God's Way and God Is Bigger make this a simple and fun card!

For my second card, I created a rainbow panel using various Ranger Distress Oxide inks.  Maybe you've already gathered that the distress inks are some of my favorite. I generally do most of my water coloring with distress inks.  They have good color saturation and are easy to work with.  The oxide version is more chalky and blends beautifully with the other colors.  The ink's reactivity with water is the other point of high interest. You can see the water marks in my skyline created with a misting of water. 

I completed my card using Landscape Silhouettes and a sentiment from Keep In Touch, Too.

Thanks for stopping by!  

TTFN, Jane

Grateful....

I've been pretty reflective lately as things in our world have changed.  I have often been led to wonder how others surf through the trials of life?  It constantly amazes me that I continue to experience profound gratitude for all of the many ways in which I've been blessed, and continue to be blessed.

This happy little scarecrow is the perfect picture of grateful!  He's a bunch of fun to color and such a versatile image:

You can find all the goodies I used to make these two cards over in the Sweet N Sassy store:  Happy Scarecrow, Incredibly Blessed, God Is Bigger and the August SOTM, Give Thanks--yours free with a purchase of $75 or more!

Have a great day!  Jane
