Rainbow colours at TIOT

Hi everyone, when did a fortnight get reduced to one week? Well, at least that is what it feels like! 

Yes, it's time for a change of theme at Try It On Tuesday. We're asking you to choose 'Rainbow Colours'. You will find plenty of inspiration here from the Design Team.

I made a card with a rainbow of Distress Inks that were added to an acrylic block then spritzed with water and pressed the card on to it. It was something I did with a friend who'd never tried this technique before so there were lots of 'oohs and aahs'


We used water colour paper and when I got home I stamped it with part of an Indigoblu stamp. The card was stamped with a Paper Artsy mini stamp which I used unmounted to get a random effect. I used a corner rounder cutter on both. I stamped the sentiment and outlined the 'rainbow' with gold pen.

I hope you can join us with your 'Rainbow Colours' this time at TIOT - there are a few rules which you can find here.

Thanks for looking, Chris

  4. It's interesting to see what can be mad with very simple tools and few different products. This is very decorative and the style appeals to me.
