Hi Lovelies!
Time to update the Wall Art in my craftroom and hopefully inspire a project for your own space. My craftroom is full of rainbows, so one more won't hurt!
June is PRIDE month and I wanted a piece that celebrate that and love in general, so I thought that the bold arcs of the Painted Rainbow Cling Stamp would stand out even from a distance.
If you would like to check out the other projects in this series, I have linked them below for you to explore:
With that said, let's review the key supplies for today's project:
For the full list, check out the Supplies Section at the end of this post.

PROJECT WALKTHROUGH
STAMPING THE BACKGROUND
Trim a sheet of 110LB Neenah Cardstock to 6" x 6" and secure the cardstock inside your MISTI by adhering to the Simon Says Stamp Stamp and Stencil Mat for a secure hold.
The Painted Rainbow Cling Stamp is sectioned to allow you to stamp each arc of the raombow in a different color.
One-by-one, ink and stamp each section of the rainbow with the selected color.
TIP: To make it easier not to contaminate the adjacent section, temporarily remove it, ink the selection senction, stamp and then replace the section you first removed before removing the currently inked section.
Close-up to see the colors better! Trim the stamped layer to 5 1/2" x 5 1/2".
DIE-CUTTING/LAYERING THE SENTIMENT
Stamp Love You in Intense Black ink on White Cardstock, then die-cut. Stamp "with all my heart" and "exactly as you are" onto Black Cardstock in Clear Ink and then emboss with White Embossing Powder.
Die-cut the Love-You outline out of White Foam. Layer and adhere to the stamped matching sentiment. That fluffy foam give just the right dimension without needing adhesive dots!
CREATING THE INSERT BASE
Using the Tim Holtz Guillotine, trim 2 pieces of Chipboard to 8" x 8" and ~5 1/2" x 5 1/2". Trim 1 sheet of 130lb White Cardstock to 8" x 8".
Adhere the stamped layer to the ~5 1/2" x 5 1/2" chipboard and the white cardstock to the 8" x 8" chipboard using the Elmer's Spray Adhesive or Craft Tacky Glue
NOTE: If you did this project with me before and plan to switch out a previous insert for this one, you do not need to create the 8" x 8" white backdrop again. The inserts are attached to the backdrop with Velcro, so you just pop the previous one off and attach the new one.
I ended up placing my sentiment in top right of the insert, but you can try other locations that might appeal to you more. :-)
Attached some Velcro or the hook and loop stickers I linked in the supplies to the back side of the stamped layer. I would use at least 2 at each of the four corners to ensure that it stays in place when mounted.
The second photo shows the other side of the Velcro once I removed the protective layer shown in the first pic and pressed the stamped layer onto the 8" x 8" white cardboard-backed layer.
The Velcro gives dimension and makes the stamped layer "float" against the white background.
A rainbow is ALWAYS a win in my book!
My craft space is a sanctuary for me; I like for it not just to be pretty, but celebrate things that matter to me.
Hope this inspired you to bring a little more joy to your own space!
Don't forget to leave me a comment and let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks again for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon Lovelies!
