April Card Class "Under the Rainbow"
04/25/2017
Here are the cards that we made in April's class.
Card #1: Little Boy with the Rainbow Shave Ice
This is one of my favorite cards ever! The little boy reminds me of my nephews and rainbow shave ice is my all time favorite flavor. For the rainbow shave ice, I used sponge daubers. I started with daffodil delight, then did the real red and then the tempting turquoise. If you look closely, where the colors overlap, it's orange and green, just like real rainbow shave ice! Then to finish it off, I colored the rainbow shave ice with Clear Wink of Stella. It made it sparkle like shave ice does in the sun. The shave ice was punched using the 1 1/2" circle from whisper white. The cone is the retired tree punch at 1 3/4" high.
For the little boy, his head and hair are punched from the 1 3/4" circle punch. His body was punched using the best badge punch. His shorts are just a rectangle the width of the best badge with a triangle cut-out on the bottom. His arms and hand were made from the legs of the cookie cutter punch. And finally his face uses the eyes and mouth from the Playful Pals set. His cheeks are stamped in blushing bride ink using the eraser top on a pencil. You can easily make little girls instead with a swimsuit top, ponytail or other hairdos--everyone had a lot of fun customizing their little person and making shave ice in their favorite flavor(s).
Card #2: Under the Rainbow
The images for this card are from the Over the Rainbow stamp set. The words on the gold foil were stamped using Staz On Black. The rainbow on the vanilla card stock was stamped in Memento Tuxedo black. Then the letters were colored with Stampin' Write Markers using brights.
Card #3: Under the Umbrella
This card uses images from the Beautiful You stamp set. The umbrella was also stamped on Tip Top Taupe designer patterned paper and cut out, then added to the card with a dimensional. The girl's outfit was colored using Stampin' Write markers in Flirty Flamingo and Tip Top Taupe to match the cardstock and designer paper.
Card #4: Happy Happy Birthday to You
The Happy Celebrations stamp set and coordinating embossing folders were used to make this card. The candles at the bottom were punched using the Candle Border punch. The centers of the flowers were colored using Gold Wink of Stella. The color combination of Peekaboo Peach, Watermelon Wonder and Very Vanilla remind me of rainbow sherbet. Do you remember the rainbow sherbet fruit punch float with 7-up at parties when you were a little kid? It was one of my favorite treats.
