The Paper Players #776

There is a "Colors of the Rainbow" challenge at The Paper Players and instead of making an actual rainbow I pulled out an older stamp set that features flowers.


I've always loved these Artful Flowers from SSS.  I masked and stamped seven of them for ROYGBIV, coloring them with Zigs.  I can't tell you how long it took to find a sentiment and I'm still not happy with it.  I didn't have anything with the thin lines of the flowers.  Then it seemed unfinished so I added splatters using Altenew's Jet Black spray.  I don't actually spray it but dab a bit in the box and use a thin paint brush.  This has worked better for me than using thinned acrylic paint and I get a dark black.  

Thanks for dropping by and spending a bit of your day with me.

Beautiful rainbow of flowers, Bobby. I think the sentiment is perfect and stands out against the colourful images. Great splatters too! xx

This is a total beauty! I think the addition of the black splatter was a perfect finishing touch. I think the sentiment works too - perhaps the splatter helps to unify it? Thanks so much for sharing this beauty with us at The Paper Players. :-)

Bobby, I love that you used these whimsical flowers for your rainbow. Having them cascade down the card brings so much wonderful movement. Absolutely love this card. So glad you shared it with us at The Paper Players this week
