Rainbow Card for Happy Mail


Today I'm sharing another rainbow card to send out for Happy Mail.  As usual, my card started with the patterned paper which was in a 12x12" package. Going through the remaining sheets, I saw one with a large rainbow across the bottom half. It was too big to use on an A2 card, or a Slimline but I thought it might work on a 5x7" card. I cut the rainbow panel down to 6.75" keeping just the rainbow. So now my sheet was 12 x 6.75" and had a large rainbow across the centre.

I cut that sheet in half at 6", giving me two pieces with a half rainbow on each ... and I trimmed the outside down so each panel measured 4.75 x 6.75. Since there was a second sheet of this large rainbow print in the package I repeated the cutting above and had four half-rainbow panels ready to add to card fronts! In the photo below you can see how they would have fit together if I hadn't cut the sheet in half. (I will be sharing those cards another day),


There are a sheets of cut-aparts in the paper pad, so I trimmed out this one to add to the front. I also added a punched cloud and some super cute bee themed enamel dots.


Here is a peek at the inside ...


Such a true sentiment - and why I bought the stamp set last year!
