April Showers Bring May Flowers

You know this childhood sentiment! I was channelling little flowers and a rainbow today when I came up with this card. I used the new Confetti Flowers Border Punch to create this rainbow arch. This is card #22 in my “A Card a Day in May” challenge series.

To construct the rainbow, I stamped the sentiment first. This is a great tip for spacing AND I did’t want to risk making this awesome tedious rainbow and then stamp crooked. Haha! It happens and it’s devastating! So I stamped first in Poppy Parade and then started with the Highland Heather layer of flowers and worked my way up and out. The sentiment is from the stamp set Tasteful Touches and will be available with the new catalogue release.

I used Tombow Multipurpose glue to adhere all the little flowers. My Take a Pick Tool was a lifesaver as it made it so easy to pick up the flowers and place them onto the glue without having sticky fingers.

The colors used to create this rainbow arch are Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Soft Seafoam, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather

The Confetti Flower Punch punches out three different sizes of flowers that made putting this rainbow arch together so easy!
