Six Rainbow Birthday Cards

Hello! Today I'm sharing a group of cards I made to donate to my Mom's old nursing home. I was flipping though this 12 x 12" paper pad from Michaels and stopped at this wavy rainbow print. Then I knew exactly what I wanted to do! 

I used a rectangle die to cut the centre away from each of the panels which left me with a wavy patterned frame and a matching centre rectangle for each panel. That centre panel was matted with yellow card stock that was cut with Karen Burniston's Crosshatch Rectangles. After adhering the frames to the pink card bases, I popped up the matted rectangles over the openings in the larger panels.

The rainbow was stamped onto one of YNS Stitched Wavy Circles using my Mini MISTI. I stamped one colour at a time ('inking' with water based markers) on each of the circles and it was amazing how easy the Mini MISTI made this project! I stamped the Birthday Wishes below each rainbow and popped the circles up on the panels. Since the cards are hand delivered to the residents, I don't need to worry about bulk or too many layers!

I felt it needed something else, so used strips of black card stock to create little fishtail banners to tuck under each circle and then added black Nuvo Drops as well.

Here is a look at the inside ... all of them were done the same and I used my Mini MISTI so there were no 'oopses' or crooked sentiments.
