***UNITY FWF*** Friendship Rainbow

Happy Friday Peeps!! It's time for another super-fun installment of Unity's Friends With Flair (FWF) Fridays. Check out the UNITY BLOG to get the list of awesome chicks who will be showing you some great projects today!! Don't forget to leave some love on the blogs you visit, because someone has the blinkie and will choose a winner from the comments!! What's the prize, you ask? Its a grab bag of 25 random Unity Stamps!! So, lets get hoppin....

I made a very simple card for you today. First, and I'm not sure you can see it here, I stamped one of the flowers from the Ippity stamp set Now and Always in Desert Sand Memento ink on the kraft paper, to make a watermark effect. Next, I gathered up some ribbons in the colors of the rainbow, making sure they will stretch across the cardfront and then layered the colors to form a rainbow.

Next, I stamped the focal image- here, I used the friendship stamp from The Right Words, the stampin' store kit for July, (available at PaperManiac for a great price, I may add). I then cut around the focal image using Spellbinders large and small classic circles dies, and layered them on top of each other.

Finally, I added pearls, in all the colors of the rainbow, around the top and bottom halves of the circles. My daughter freaked when she saw this card, as she loves rainbows just as much as I do. She said, "mommy, can I have that card?" SO, now that its posted, I am going to give it to her! :-)

Have fun on your HOP!
