Awww what d'ya mean it's Friday Eve already?!?! Where is my half term break disappearing to?!
Well even though this week is zooming by amazingly fast, nothing stops this gal from knuckling down to a new CASE Study. Today's card is inspired by this cool card of Teri Anderson's.
Check out the original post of this card here.
I think you can probably tell that I was inspired by Teri's use of stripes for my own card. And I know that the rainbow trend was a bandwagon that has probably long gone, but it's a trend that will stick with me for a while methinks!
- Trust me, you need a good guillotine to cut strips of cardstock accurately. I would be lost without my Tonic Guillotine -it cuts through the thickest of cardstock like a hot knife through butter. And no, I'm not paid to promote Tonic Studios - just a happy customer here! :)
- If you're *so* over the rainbow trend, why not try this using different colours strips of cardstock for the design?
- Simply remove the bow/ribbon treatment from the card to give it a more graphic feel.

Very chic card Aimes. Hope you had a lovely half term and got loads of crafting in!

Hi Aimes - your rainbow card is stunning (and your 'over the rainbow' pun, clever). Although I've not attempted rainbows in any form other than those on patterned paper, your mini tutorial here has me thinking and planning. St. Patrick's Day is on the horizon...
Thank you SO MUCH for your comment on my Warm Thoughts on Wings card. As a novice card-maker, I'm thrilled that someone with your talent and creativity invested time in such a kind, motivating, and confidence-boosting fashion. Yes, I'm still pretty 'simplistic' with my approaches, but each venture is a learning experience gained. Your cards are definitely inspiring!
Warm, butterfly wing thoughts to you!

Stunning cas design! Thanks for the tips, I really like the idea of a guillotine... but I do cherish my fingers (I'm a little clumsy at times lol, maybe I'll have to give it a try.
Can I say that I'm happy you aren't over your rainbow love? I, for one, LOVE seeing all of your pretty rainbow colored cards- they are so cheery!
