Hello and welcome back crafty friends!
We LOVED seeing your ocean palette-inspired projects over the past month and want to thank you so much for participating in Challenge #39.
Now, onto Penguin Palace Challenge #40! This month we have a fun rainbow color palette as our inspiration! Don’t forget to link your projects for your chance to win a gift card!

I love rainbow cards and usually start by creating my background. I rotated the Kaleidoscope Stencils 360°™ stencil in 60 degree increments using the Stencils 360°™, blending in rainbow order. Once I was done blending with the stencil, I came back in with the same blending brushes and used a lighter hand to soften the background to create a tone-on-tone look. Next, I diecut my stenciled background using a circle die, and used a circle die one size larger to create my card base.

I adhered by rainbow stenciled background to my card base and moved on stamping. I stamped and Copic-colored an image from Life Is A Carnival, and diecut it with the coordinating dies. Next, I stamped and white heat-embossed a sentiment from the Birthday Wishes stamp set onto dark grey cardstock and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered my image, sentiment, and a few embellishments to my card base to finish off my card!

We love seeing your creations and would love for you to join us in this month’s challenge! All you have to do to enter is use the challenge color palette to create a project. Full challenge rules can be found here.
