GIU Week Thanks rainbow card

For my first card this week showcasing Unity Stamp Company products, I wanted to go with an almost one layer and a more simpler card.

I started by placing the Allure border background in my Misti and inked up parts of the stamp with Simon Hurley Creates Shooting Star and stamping it down on my white A2 card panel. Next, I inked up the image with Bee Sting (also by SHC), overlapping some of the yellow areas. I repeated this with the SHC Clear Skies ink. By using these three inks, I can create a rainbow on my background. I like to use Simon Hurley Inks because the blend well and they also stay "wet" long enough for me to cover the entire image with Embossing Powder. Here, I used Icicle Embossing Powder from Brutus Monroe and heat set it to give my background a shiny finish.

Next, I used some Deco Foil-Unity Adhesive Transfers for my sentiment. I cut the Thanks from Sentiments 1 and following the packaging instructions adhered that to the center of my panel. I covered the transfer with some rainbow foil from my stash (a left over piece from another project). For the sub sentiment, I stamped For All You Do (from my stash) with Raven Detail Ink from Brutus Monroe.

After I cut down my panel to 4" x 5.25," I adhere it to the front of my Black A2 Card base, including a white blank panel on the inside for my message when sending. To finish off my card, I used some liquid glue to attached a few iridescent gems around my sentiment.
