easy clean and simple card: creating a rainbow
Start off by die-cutting the Angled Strips Cover Plate die from white cardstock. Next, take each strip in turn and colour with an ink pad using the direct to paper method.
The colours uses are from the Date Night Ink collection:

To create the background panel, add these to a panel trimmed down by 1/2 smaller than your card base and adhere with foam tape. For added interest, separate the strips out to add more to the design.

Add Your Heading Text Here
To assemble the card, add your background panel to a white card base. To add to the graphic design, die-cut the Favorite on a line die out of black card and adhere to the front. In addition, heat emboss in white onto black card a smaller sentiment from the Favorite Day Ever stamp set.

Add the smaller sentiment with foam tape and then embellish with Morning Dew Nuvo drops.
