Challenge #22: Smoky Slate

Hello, friends! Welcome to another monthly challenge here at The Rainbow Card Challenge! Thank you so much to all of you who played along last month--we LOVED your support and all your amazing creations! We are so grateful for YOU!

Each month we will bring you a monochromatic or rainbow colored prompt for you to do with as you will. On monochromatic months, please keep your creations as monochromatic as possible, but we understand the use of neutrals and even a bit of green for flowers :) With all that said, here's this month's challenge...

One Week Reminder for Challenge #21: Autumnal Amber

Hello, friends!  Thank you to everyone who has played along with our AUTUMNAL AMBER challenge!  If you've not already done so, you have one week left to join the fun—and if you have, you're welcome to enter again!

You can see mine and the other six incredible Design Team members creations on the challenge post linked above, but I thought I'd offer you some more inspiration...

You might want to use inks or markers etc. to create a striking background...

Or you might want to use it with your favorite flowers... after all as artists we have a lot of license to do as we wish... just don't use quite as much green, please!

Or, you might simply add amber gems to your otherwise neutral design...

From all of us gals, THANK YOU for playing along!  We're so thankful for YOU!  

Happy 80th Birthday Elena - Blog Hop

Hello, Friends! 

Welcome to a very special post on a very special day... Design Team member Elena's 80th birthday! 

In typical Rainbow Card Challenge style, we're marking the occasion with a celebratory blog hop, ending with Elena's latest DT post, where we ask you to please leave her some birthday love!  

But first, please stop by the other DT members to see the creations they've made for her and sent her way (Mynn and Mary Ellen are unable to take part, but my (Em's) card has been signed on behalf of all the team).  All our cards have been created using one or both of Elena's favorite colors, sapphire and burgundy... as indeed has the hop header...

Hello, friends!  Thank you to everyone who has played along with our RADIANT RUBY challenge!  If you've not already done so, you have one week left to join the fun—and if you have, you're welcome to enter again!

You can see mine and the other six incredible Design Team members creations on the challenge post linked above, but I thought I'd offer you some more inspiration...

The obvious thing would be to focus on the gems themselves...

Or perhaps use your stamps or dies to create a sumptuous background...

Or perhaps use an image editing program to turn a photo or photographed card, a lovely ruby hue...

From all of us gals, THANK YOU for playing along!  We're so thankful for YOU!
