Rainbow Rudophs

Happy July!! It's been hot and humid here today so I'm staying indoors as much as possible! Amidst doing laundry (ugh) & watching the Twins win (yay), I was surfing my blogging friends' latest posts. Lisa (My Paper Tales) shared a darling card announcing the new Poppystamps Challenge - Rainbow. I decided to jump in and play. 

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;

various scraps of colored card, mainly Bazzill & Paper Studio

Dies - Poppystamps Whittle Rudolph (retired) and

Proper Merry Christmas

Other - Copic Markers; Park Lane rainbow gems

I had picked up Whittle Rudolph (c2018) at my LSS last year (sadly retired at Poppystamps). Since I'm desperately behind on Christmas cards, I went in that direction. I thought Rudolph would be darling in rainbow colors & he is!! I stacked each reindeer with 3 layers for stability and dimension, then added a gem nose.

Next, I took a scrap of white card and drew lines using Copics in the 7 rainbow colors. I die cut Merry Christmas from that scrap. Layered it onto a white ouline and then, since I only had a bit of red at the top of the M, I added a red shadow. Arranged everything on a white slimline. Not a quick card but very fun to make!!

Thanks, Lisa, for the inspiration to join in at Poppystamps and thanks to Poppystamps, not only for this challenge but for sponsoring us at Die Cut Divas over the years!! Since my Whittle Rudolph gets first play today, I'll also share at Darnell's July NBUS Challenge.

Thanks for stopping and happy crafting! I'll be back tomorrow with the usual 2nd of the month Card Chain Challenge reveal - hope to see you here!
