April Mid Month at Stamping Sensations

Back with my mid month reminder for Stamping Sensations!
Our 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' theme is proving popular but there is still time for you to enter!
Pop over to the challenge blog and take a look at the great prize from Be Creative - and if you're still seeking inspiration the DT have done some great makes on the original post HERE and also on the reminder post! Please take some time to read our challenge rules before submitting your entry!
Once again I used the Rainbow colours as a base for my card.
Making these rainbow coloured cards made me feel quite contented! There is something quite therapeutic and soothing  about these shades I think.
Distress inks used (from the bottom of the card)- Faded Jeans, Twisted Citron, Mustard Seed, Squeezed Lemonade, Dried Marigold, Spun Sugar, Festive Berries, Shaded Lilac.

The Cherry Blossom stamp is one of the first wood backed stamps that I bought. At some point I have removed it from it's wood backing! Stamped in Versafine and used Gathered Twigs on the branches, and coloured the flowers with a white Gel pen, adding a little Gold Pearl to each flower centre.
A couple of punched butterflies, a sentiment and a black card mat to finish before popping it onto the white card base.

Love that blossom with the rainbow. The blossom has been cheering me up this week, so it is nice to see it appearing on cards too xx

A really super background rainbow and a great use of the image. Don't tell anyone but I have also removed a few of my wood mounted stamps from the wood so I can use them in my stamping thingy and therefore get a better stamped image and placement.

This is gorgeous Viv and the blossom branches are so pretty, and the bright white of the gel pen flowers really pop beautifully against the background. x

I’ve usually avoided attempting anything rainbow like, just thinking about all the colors to be used I get lost and have no idea what to make. But this looks fabulous, no doubt, a stylish and cheerful design with all the rainbow colors.
