online card classes: rainbow maker (day 1)

Having so much fun in the newest Online Card Class, RAINBOW MAKER. You know I love all things rainbow and these backgrounds from Day 1 were so much fun to make, I see a lot of them to come in my future!

These fun patterns were inspired by Julie's lesson on Day 1, I didn't have any pigment inks on hand so I decided to take out MANY paintbrushes and get to work on these backgrounds. They are so easy to make and adding a big bold die cut onto them really makes them pop. On this one I painted with Distress Paints in many colors and let the panel dry between layers. I added this brand new Hooray from Neat and Tangled which will be available in their shop on Friday. 

For the second panel, I just made bigger bolder brushstrokes and cut it with the Friend Like You die from Concord & 9th (looks like this die is going away on the Concord & 9th site). Then I added some Tim Holtz gold foil paper underneath my panel and adhered it with foam tape to my card base.
