Our bright and colourful new challenge starts today at Time Out … this fortnight we’re ‘Inspired By Words’ … and our words are ‘You Can’t Make A Rainbow Without a Little Rain’ … sigh … how blissful! You wouldn’t have thought I’d focus on the ‘rainbow’ now would you (tee hee) …
A white card panel, stamped with a little WPlus9 diamond (from Quilt Prints) in rainbow colours, each overlapping the previous one and each topped with a few coats of Wink of Stella for some shimmer (of course!). I split the panel down the middle of the diamonds, added a strip of glittery silver washi top and bottom, stamped the WPlus9 sentiment in the gap on the base card and popped the panels up on foam tape over it. Would you like to see what’s inside …
… a WPlus9 hello, stamped in most of the rainbow colours used on the front … and yes, coated in Wink of Stella!
What do you think of when you hear the words ‘You Can’t Make a Rainbow Without a Little Rain’? Let your imagination wander … and when you’ve settled on an idea (or two!), why not get creative and play along with us at Time Out … we’d love to have you! All the details are over on the Time Out blog, along with a ton of inspiration from our talented Guest Designer, Michele H from Crimson Owl Creations and our amazing DT! Look forward to seeing you in the gallery!
I’m joining in with these four challenges …
Runway Inspired – check out the inspiration photo below … I focussed on the rainbow diamonds, white walls in the background and those shiny shoes … a CAS and graphic version!
Make The Day Special – Tic Tac Toe (I chose Metallics, Bling and Feminine)
SSS Work It Wednesday – Stamp
SSS Monday – In The Middle (the diamond stamp is meant for the middle of the ‘quilts’ stamped with Quilt Prints!)

So so clever Anita, the colours blend perfectly! (and the sentiment in the neg space, LOVE!)

This is super gorgeous, Anita. Those rainbow shapes are so cool. Fabulous stamping. Love the inside, too.
This is brilliant Anita – love rainbows. I just made a rainbow card yesterday and posted it for the WMS Pyjama party, is it back linking if it’s only 1 day ???
Nobody does a rainbow like you, Anita – even the lovely inside sentiment! Adore the split panel and you’ve stamped these diamonds so perfectly – how did you ever? You’ve adjusted my attitude on this rainy day, for sure…

LOVE this (as a fellow rainbow-lover, of course!!) and the use of that shape to create a similar look to the RIC is genius!
Anita your clean and simple cards are anything but simple, they are crisp and elegant. Each card a masterpiece. FYI this is not my computer but the mister’s IPad. Arghh!!!!!!
What a stunning and beautiful CAS card Anita! I love your “rainbow” and I love how you cut your panel in half and placed the sentiment in the center of it. The shimmer is awesome and I love the glittery sliver at the top and bottom. Just beautiful! Hugs, Brenda
Wow … this is an awesome design Anita. Such a powerful punch of colour that pops off all that white space. Fabulous design and love the you included the inside … more awesomeness! xx
Now this is some awesome precision stamping! Fabulous to cut the panel – stunning card!
Gorgeous rainbow and fabulous CAS, Anita! Such a great idea to use the stamp and split it.
True perfection…perfectly chosen colours and stamping perfection, arrangement, sparkling strip borders and the split panel with sentiment and inside surprise! Oh my, how do I love thee…
Very clever to use that unique shape for the RIC too 🙂
This is CAS perfection, Anita! Love the rainbow and such a clever use of those diamonds. Perfect for the RIC challenge and great to see you at Make The Day Special too 🙂
Such perfect stamping, Anita, and cutting the panel was genius.
This is another masterpiece from you and I absolutely love it from the glittery strips to the rainbow colors to the cut panel! Very inspiring!
Innovative and ingenious, Anita…loving your take on rainbows that had me staring for several moments trying to figure out how you’d executed the creation of this gem! Brilliant, vibrant and just down-right awesome! Inspiration sparked for sure!

Delightful! Love the split panel and the sweet, wee sentiment tucked between your perfectly stamped ‘rainbow’ border! Thanks for sharing the inside sentiment cuz it would have driven me ca-razy not knowing what you stamped inside!
AWESOME job interpreting the RIC photo! Yep, WWCD!
I love that your card is simple…but still so striking. And with gorgeous colors! Thanks so much for joining us on the Runway! 🙂
You’re just so neat!

Such a clever design, Anita! I love the rainbow of colors and the fun pattern you created with your stamping! Really fun card ~ You did an amazing job getting it to work so well with so many challenges, too!
Love how you reflected the model’s shoes! And obviously the RIC team found it pretty cool too. Congrats on your well-deserved shout out.
A CAS beauty! Love it! Thanks for joining in with the MTDS challenge x
Congratulations on being chosen as a fabulous fashionista! Well deserved!
Brilliant and oh-so cheery CAS with these beautiful diamond & fab bright colors against that textured crisp white. Really like the way you split the motif and have the main layer elevated. Very classy & beautiful too. TFS
Blissful is right! What a wallop of color in that rainbow strip! The colorful triangles are the perfect way to frame your sentiment!
Anita what a fabulous rainbow design both inside and out! I love your split panel and the lovely rainbow inking on your inside hello!
Luscious and delicious. Your design is perfect, and your stamping—I don’t even know where to start. Lined up perfectly, and every color just shines. Love the bit of silver at the top and bottom, and even more color in your multi inked sentiment inside.
Popping back to congratulate you on the well-deserved recognition from RIC! Yippie!!!! Hugs, Darnell
I love your colorful rainbow card! Unique take on the inspiration word and it’s beautiful! It’s ben so much fun playing along with your whole team this month!
Take care,
Michele, GDT
Hi, Anita!!!!
It’s been a while since I’ve been around, but you’ve guessed it – I’ve been busy sewing, knitting, crocheting and crafting other things than cards!!! And I just couldn’t find the mojo to do cards!!!! But as I go through all the lovely cards everybody has been posting since I last visited Blogland, I think I will be making cards again in a day of two’s time!!!
I just love this rainbow card of yours, Anita!!!! Such a clever way to use all the beautiful colours of the rainbow and so perfectly stamped!!!!! I love the silver strips at the top and bottom and how you have split your diamonds to put the sentiment in the middle!!!!! You have really made a very striking card, Anita!!!!! Lovely!!!!
