CASology #106: RAINBOW

Hello, friends!  We are back with a new cue card for this week at CASology ... I have a feeling this week's pool will be a colorful one!

It is also my design teammate Jen's birthday today (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEN!) so be sure to stop by and wish her well!  :)



This week, I wanted to use the colors of the rainbow while playing with my Papertrey Ink "Happy Hexagons."  I stamped them directly onto the card in rainbow colors (although my pool blue looks green for some reason?) and then stamped the black outline stamp on top to give some definition.  It almost looks like they were paper-pieced, but this is a one layer card (aside from the black strip of card stock on the edge).  The sentiment is from PTI's "Signature Greetings," and the three tiny pearls are just for a little extra added interest.



I am also going to enter my card in the challenge at Less Is More this week where the Challenge #182 is "Anything Goes."  (Happy Birthday, Chrissie!)

What does the cue RAINBOW mean to you?  I can't wait to see!  Be sure to link up your card by noon on Monday (Central time). In the meantime, check out how our Design Team and Guest Designers interpreted the cue this week...you won't be disappointed!

  9. This is fabulous--love the simple CAS design, and you are right about the paper piecing. That is what I thought you did until I read your post. Fabulous straight stamping, too.
