When I came up to my craft room this afternoon, I had a short list of challenges I thought I might create a card for. Instead I saw a color blocked card (totally different from the one you'll see here) and decided instead to enter one last card into the Seize the Birthday: Rainbow Colors challenge.
I need some masculine birthday cards, and I think a color blocked card would probably work. If not, I know I'll find the perfect recipient eventually.
All but the purple stripe were cut from scraps of cardstock. Knowing I had plenty of bright cardstock scraps was one of the reasons I decided to make the card. I also knew I had a perfect die cut from My Favorite Things for the sentiment.
If you click on this image, I think you'll be able to see the shimmer on the black cardstock I used for the die cut. All the card needed then was a narrow black frame and a few rainstones from Papertrey Ink. These bright colors certainly make me happy!
