Rainbow Colors Inspired Greeting Card (Crafting Away From Home #2)

Hello! We have a new challenge at Incy Wincy Designs. The challenge theme is Rainbow/Multicolour And/Or Monsters. 

At the same time, welcome to a new blog series called  Crafting Away From Home. This is my second post on this series. Technically, this is the first project I made away from home. Unlike my first series post, this card has a schedule to go live. 

I hardly create away from home because I feel that I do not bring enough craft supplies that I will need to create a card. But I am away from home for awhile. I planned the projects that I need and wanted to create. I am making sure that my projects will be using  similar supplies. I printed and stamped my images as well as part of that craft away from home planning.

The images are printed on Strathmore Bristol paper. I colored the image using Akashiya Sai Watercolor Brush pen. I applied the color on a palette and picked it up with a water brush. I fussy cut the image leaving a small white border around the image. 

For the card panel, I trimmed a 5 1/2" and a 4 1/4" heavy weight Neenah Solar white cardstock. I applied a light wash of color. Not the most ideal paper to do this technique but it is the only paper I brought with me. The paper warped a little but once it was adhered to a note card, the warping is unnoticeable.

I planned the layout of my images and the sentiment. I stamped the sentiment using a stamp from Concord & 9th Rainbow Sayings stamp set and Versafine Onyx Black ink. I set this aside to dry.

I was not able to bring some foam tape with me. I really want some dimension so I cut little pieces of scrap Bristol paper. I layered it and adhered it to the back of the image. I adhered the images to the panel. 

I added white gel pen details to the images. 

Whew! I made it through another away from home card. How about you? Do you like crafting away from home? Any tips to share which makes crafting away from home easy for you?

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope to see your creations at the challenge blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
