Rainbow themed Birthday Cards

Today I am sharing 3 cards I made with a rainbow theme to wish a colorful and bright birthday to the recipients.



Card 1 - Distress Inks blending over Stencil



For this card I used the Birch Tree stencil by Tim Holtz and blended in Distress Inks in rainbow order. I also cut out two birds using my Silhouette Curio and placed them on the trees. The effect created can either be interpreted as a rainbow seen thru the trees or a view of the sun setting thru the trees and the night taking over.

I then adhered the front panel onto a 6x6 card base and added a Happy Birthday sentiment from the SSS Sketch Ranunculus stamp set.

Card 2 - Distress Ink Blending


Similar to the previous card, I blended the rainbow colors using Distress Inks on circles of different sizes I cut out and stuck them on an A2 card base in rainbow order. I then used a sequin stamp from Wplus9's Little Bits stamps to get colorful sequins all over the card.

I again used the Happy Birthday sentiment from the SSS Sketch Ranunculus stamp set to finish off the simple card.

Challenges
  1. Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Happy Birthday
  2. Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge - Blend
  3. Time Out Challenge # 80
  4. Muse Challenge #211 - inspired by the colors and circles. 


Card 3 - Watercoloring using Zig Clean Color and Stencil



For this card I took a Triangle stencil and then Watercolored the different triangles in rainbow colors using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. Then using an alphabet stencil and a white Uniball Signo pen I wrote the word Birthday on the painted triangles.

I then took a strip of paper and again using the Zigs created a Rainbow strip which I adhered to the base of the card. The word 'happy' I cut out using my Curio. To finish off the card I again used the sequin stamp from Wplus9's Little Bits stamps with my Zigs to get sequins on top of the card.
