If you ever want to make a rainbow with card then Papermilldirect card is the card to use. With every colour under the sun, making a rainbow is easy. The hard part is deciding if you want to make a traditional rainbow, or have some fun with the colours. I had a bit of fun with this rainbow. I used:

• Papermilldirect Hammered White Card
• Papermilldirect Slate Grey Card
• Papermilldirect Celestial Blue Card
• Papermilldirect Celestial Blue Card Blank
• Papermilldirect Intensive Pink Card
• Papermilldirect Mandarin Orange Card
• Papermilldirect Daffodil Yellow Card
• Papermilldirect Shamrock Green Card
• Papermilldirect Lavender Card
• Papermilldirect Plain Black Card

I started my card by creating a panel of card to mat onto the card blank. I created this in the same Celestial Blue as the card blank. I used a raindrop stencil and Peacock Feathers distress ink to stencil the pattern onto the card.

I stamped a birthday sentiment in the same colour ink and cut this out in a strip.

I cut out a rainbow on my Silhouette cutting machine, but you can use a die, or print and cut or just print. My rainbow had lots of detail and a cute cloud with face and a 'silver lining'. It took a while to put together, but it is a good activity to put on a YouTube video or podcast and relax while you craft away! I love how cute the end result is.

I added my stenciled panel onto the card base, and added the rainbow onto this using foam pads.

I added my sentiment banner and some fun yellow dots and it was done. I love how cute the little rainbow cloud is!
