Crazy Cousin at Double Trouble - Colors of the Rainbow and a Sketch

Hello everyone, I was invited to be the Crazy Cousin (a.k.a guest designer) at Double Trouble challenge for the month of April so here I am today sharing my card for their first April challenge. 


You can see in the logo above, Thing One - the trouble maker - wants to see a choice of rainbow color(s). Thing 3 - Twisted Sister - want us to use the Sketch (below) from Tuesday Morning Sketch challenge (this is optional) and finally Thing 2 wants us to share our card with Tuesday Morning Sketch challenge if we used the sketch (also optional). 

This was a fun card to create. I thought this new to me wood mounted stamp from Penny Black (Fish are Jumping) was the perfect choice for the Roy G. Biv Rainbow color challenge. 


I colored the image with a mix of Copic markers and Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. I followed the orders of the Twisted Sister and used Tuesday Morning's sketch (which will actually go live tomorrow as their challenge starts on a Tuesday but I think they will allow back linking for this challenge only). I cut the image out using a Nestabilities scallop circle die. The papers are from my stash.

Sentiment is also new to me from Tim Holtz's Tiny Text stamp set. Lots of great quotes in this set! I used Stickles glitter to make the rainbow sparkle. 



This challenge runs for two weeks and as mentioned you only need to follow Thing 1's theme of rainbow color(s), Thing 2 and 3 are optional :)



I shared this beautiful photo before but couldn't miss the opportunity to share again since today's topic is about rainbow colors :)
I took it while on vacation in Colorado. It was such a beautiful sight to see and it was extra special as that day was my birthday!

What a fun card with all that sparkle! I love the fish at the end of the rainbow and the butterfly accent too! I don't think I've ever seen a more spectacular rainbow in a photo before either - just WOW!
