Embellish Rainbow Challenge



Roy. G. Biv and I go way back. Waaaaaay back. Ever since my 2nd grade teacher introduced us, we've been great pals. He really brightens up my day and I can always count on him when I need some colorful crafting inspiration.

I'm so happy that Embellish is dedicating a challenge to Roy. He deserves it.

Now, as much as I love Roy, I had to shake things up for this challenge. See, Roy is just so predictable... I am not. That's always been a problem for us. So for my card, I went with a less predictable version of Roy G. Biv...I hope he won't mind!




I went with a simple one-layer layout for this one! I chose to left justify the design since I usually opt to flank everything on the right side. Just a little something different.

To make the pattern, I used a stamp from the PTI Turning A New Leaf set....an itty bitty stamp...a stamp that I hadn't even noticed until it fell onto the floor as I was opening the case.





I took that as a sign that this little guy was begging for some attention. So I gave him some love...lots of it! I stamped the leaf in a staggered pattern in a rainbow-ish array of colors!

I'm loving the result!

That's all from me today! I'll be back tomorrow with more stamped goodness:-)

Thanks for stopping by for some Damask Love!

  4. Oh, I love Roy too! Whenever I am organizing paper, or when I had to reorganize my copics into their new little rack, I call on Roy to guide me. He makes things so tidy and cohesive, right?

  12. Your comment on roy g biv makes me think of my children who also think roy g biv is pretty cool, so now I've got their sing songy voices stuck in my head saying "roy g biv...roy g biv". Love that you used a tiny piece of the PTI set for this... now I've got to get out the magnifying glass and have a look at my other sets. And while I'm leaving a novel here, go check out my birthday post on my blog-- prizes to be won.

  20. Wowser! - That tiny stamp sure packed a huge punch of fabulous on this colorful card.
    You know they say you learn something every day...well today it's sure is true for me. I'd never heard of Roy G. Biv before so had to "Google" it and low and behold I found out he's the color spectrum of a rainbow. Now why hadn't I ever heard that before?
