Donna has chosen the optional theme at Allsorts this time (Anything Goes also welcome).
I've said it many times but I LOVE this DT because the themes encourage me out of my comfort zone to try different techniques and that's what I did with this card.
I have no idea where the stencil came from (Probably a magazine freebie from days gone by when I subscribed to a couple of magazines). Although I rarely use them, I do have quite a selection of Distress Inks in my stash, you know what it's like, see a fab technique, buy the stuff and never use it. I digress, I have a lot of inks, some purchased and some gifted so I thought why not, do some blending and that's what I did. I took the inspiration for the rainbow from the adorable Aall & Create Washi Tape, Flower Dancing. I am SO pleased with the rainbow blend that I achieved and mounted it on shiny black cardstock. The Whimsy Birthday die also shines beautifully and the Happy is just a random stamp.
Thank you for paying me a visit. See you tomorrow xx

I agree, being on a DT makes you get out of your comfort zone on occasions! Well done with the rainbow stencilling, so pretty, looks a bit like a STAMPlorations stencil to me! :)
Beautiful pastel rainbow tones in your background which blend perfectly with the floral border
Gorgeous graduated rainbow background and the washi tape blends perfectly. Like you feel it's good to be pushed outside that comfort zone.

You should be pleased, your ink blending goes perfectly with the tape and it makes for a pretty card.
Great card Sarah, what a fabulous background.

This is so pretty Sarah, a lovely design x
Wow, fabulous ink blending! The colors couldn't be more perfect for the fun wash.
Such a pretty card and background. Yes being on DT is good to push us to try new styles even if we decide its not for us we learn something and ive made some cards I love that Id never have made without the themes to follow
