Blue Rainbow

Hi friends! Today I have a tag to share using a rainbow stencil, but not really for a rainbow, but for an interesting background design.

I used the Simon Says Stamp Happy Rainbow stencil set to create the background of this tag. The stencils are meant for a rainbow design, but I decided to turn them on the side instead and use only shades of blue, green and turquoise. The background was ink with Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated inks. The Happy Rainbows set is a part of the new Sunny Vibes release.

Start by white embossing Simon Says Stamp Crackle Background on the entire tag.

Place down one of the stencils and ink with Seafoam ink using an ink-blending brush.

Take the next stencil and line it up. Ink with Pawsitively Saturated Ocean ink.

 

Next stencil, but this time with Spring ink. I turned the heart around since I didn't want it placed on it's side. 

Repeat with Ocean ink again.

I wanted the ink to be darker for one of the designs and repeated it with Woodsy ink. The white embossing will resist the inks.

The May Arts Faux Wrinkled Silk Ribbon was dyed with three of the Pawsitively Saturated inks used on the project.

I added even more circle designs to the tag. Simon Says Stamp Circle Loops were die cut from black glittery cardstock. The dotted tape is from Tim Holtz Design Tape Trims and there are of course also some sequins. 

I inked the edges with the Woodsy ink.

The Simon Says Stamp Fancy Hello was die cut from black glitter cardstock and from leftover inky Specialty Stamping paper. Adhere with foam tape.

This sentiment stamp comes from Simon Says Stamp Beachcombing, also from the Sunny Vibes release.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and that it helped you to look at new ways to use your stencils.

Don't miss the new Sunny Vibes release.

Thank you so much for stopping by here today!
