The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow

I have a really fun card today....it's Release Week at There She Goes and our challenge for today...and for you...is being issued by our fearless leader, Jessica!  She wants us to create a ONE LAYER card that has images stamped in the same color as the card base (monotone) to create a background scene, and then stamp the main image onto a separate piece of cardstock .  The main image must then be colored, cut out, and added to the monotone card base to complete the scene.  Here's an example:  Happy Mail by Jessica Knutsen (see second image in post).  It's such a cute card so check it out.

Ok...so this got me thinking and I had an inspiration!  (and you can see it means I cheated a bit) :)

I thought right away of this very fun set Under the Weather from February's Release and a rainbow!  

So...you can see it's not monotone...but each section is monotone, will that count????

I began by coloring up the sun, and cute little raindrops with Copic and trimming them out with a little white edge.  Then I cut out my paper....

I used progressive circles from my Grand Circle Nestabilities in the Grand Calibur machine , to make the progressive cuts.  All you do is layer one circle over the other one color at a time like you see the sections of color looking like  - almost like a crescent moon shape, and run them through the machine.  Then you layer and adhere them smallest to biggest size.    Then once they were on the card base I stamped each row of rainbow with the very fun umbrellas that I curved when placing on my acrylic block.  

I just added some color with copics to the rhinestones and the sentiment.  

It just makes me smile when I look at it!
