It's time for the April CAS Christmas challenge and this month's host, Trina, wants to see rainbows on our cards. I created a rainbow of Christmas lights on a tree.
After stamping the tree, I coloured all the lights with coloured pencils, trying to create a rainbow of them with red ones all around the most outer edges, then a curve of orange ones, etc. going down to the violet ones closest to the trunk.
Here's a close-up that hopefully shows the rainbow of colours better:
I added drops of Crystal Glaze to each light. I thought "joy" was a fitting sentiment as I find the rainbow of colours very joyful.
Check out the inspiration on how to use rainbows on Christmas cards at CAS Christmas where there are wonderful cards by the Design Team and this month's fabulous Guest Designer, Izzy (Izzy Scrap blog). Please join us with your clean and simple Christmas cards featuring a rainbow of some sort.
