Hi Everyone!
Rainbows are so much fun and I decided I would make some rainbow-themed cards for the Lil’ Inker Designs April Release.
My first card features the Dotted Chevron Cover Up Die.
It’s pretty straight forward – I sponged the background using distress oxide inks (Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber, Cracked Pistachio, Mermaid Lagoon, Wilted Violet) and then cut out the cover-up die and used some foam tape to adhere the top panel over the rainbow background. The Hello Die is also from this wonderful April Release. I die cut the word using black card stock and did the halo using vellum.
This Hello Word Die Set goes with the Brushed Plaid Stamp Set.
You can create an entire background, but I decided to accent just a portion of it on this card:
I stamped the big stamp on blue paper, then added lines in a darker blue and pink and added the Hello Word Die with a sentiment strip from the same stamp set.
My third card features the Have a Nice Day stamp set. I stamped the image using a light ink and used my prismacolor pencils to color over the stamped image a section at a time to create the rainbow or words.
For the rest of the images, I used my Stardust Sakura Gelly Roll pens. They have shimmer in them and it was easier for me to achieve the fine lines and dots.

Hi Caly and welcome to Lil’ Inkers. Your work IS awesome. I especially like the rainbow behind the Chevron Dots, how pretty. Although I have to admit, the ‘Have a nice Day’ rainbow is pretty amazing! Well done!

Goodness, your Have a Nice Day card is spectacular! What beautiful coloring you did.
And the brushed plaid is one of my faves of the release and I love how you used only
a partial of it. Love the font of the ‘hello’; so pretty!
