I couldn’t resist another card go at the Rainbow Card Challenge! This time I repeat stamped the ice lolly from Altenew’s Way Too Sweet set for some no-line watercoloring! All supplies are linked at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links used.
I placed a piece of my favorite Arches cold-pressed watercolor card in the Misti and used it to help me get a nice even row of lollies to color. I used Antique Linen Distress Ink to stamp them which isn’t visible once watercolored. I’ll list the watercolors I used in the supplies below :D
I picked a sentiment from the Way Too Sweet set and stamped that underneath the row of lollies in Black Pigment ink which I find copes better with the rough texture of the watercolor card and then cut the piece with a Stitched Rectangle. To get a slightly elongated rectangle wide enough to fit the row of lollies I partially die cut one end and then the other to give a longer rectangle. This is then foam mounted on a Fog card base and a few translucent rainbow sequins added as the last touch.
Do you fancy joining in with the Rainbow Card Challenge – use rainbow colors and then tag two friends. I tagged Yoonsun and Yana yesterday so I’ll just leave it up to you if you fancy taking part :D

Greetings from Germany Elisabeth
I LOVE it. Takes me back to boarding school in Bournemouth. I think it is only the English who have iced lollies, in Australia it is an ice block or an icy pole (more of a brand name there). Even though it is winter here officially the sun is shining and I could eat one. Why do you leave the u out of watercolour? Are we having an upgrade of the English language. A few years ago they changed the spelling of GAOL to JAIL, very upsetting but I’m stuck in my ways. Great work lovely card.
