Take your cards beyond the box with bright rainbows, sunbursts and 6x6 papers from the Spring Collection.  Hi, Jean Okimoto sharing a card that takes advantage of the versatility of Memory Box dies and some of the 108 shades from our new 6x6 cardstock collections.  The glittered yellow strip is cut from the new Graceful Garden Glitter Pad.

Diecut the rainbow with the 5 largest Nested Globes dies and colors from the new 6x6's - Fresh Aqua, Vibrant Violet, Lush Green, Graceful Garden Glitter Pad and Twilight Purple.  The Sunny Orange Collection (below Lush Green) created the yellow and orange sunburst.

As Trina suggests - cut a portion of each globe, then use the smaller die to cut each strip.  Build the rainbow with the narrow strips instead of layering the 5 colors.  Here's a photo of leftover offcuts after the rainbow strips were cut.  I cut each piece taller than necessary and trimmed everything after I taped them together on the reverse side.  You can use these offcuts to build smaller rainbows.

Cut yellow cardstock from the Sunny Orange Collection with the 3" die from the Circle Basics set.  Cut it with Stitched Burst.  Rotate the die so it cuts halfway between the first set of holes.  Cut a 3" orange circle and layer it behind the yellow circle to emphasize the dots.

Vigorously shake the container of Imagine Crafts Gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz and use the tube end of the sprayer to add gold specks along the center of a white slimline (3-⅝" x 8-½") card.  Dry the ink.

Stamp the greeting - from the Joyful Moments Clear Stamp Set - with Charming Pink VersaFine Clair.  Dry the ink - these inks were compatible when dry and didn't smear or blur when used together. Please test your inks first if you're using other products.    Attach the diecuts - the  sunburst circle extends about ⅛" above the fold.
