Instructions:
1. Pop out the rainbow from the laser cut sheet and choose your five colours of Distress Oxide. Smoosh the first of them onto a slick surface and add water before dipping in the first of your arches. Continue dipping into the ink mixture until the entire piece is coloured. Pop off to the side to dry and repeat with the next colour until all five arches are coloured. Ashleigh chose to seal hers with some clear embossing powder to give her rainbow a glossy look.
2. Use the second largest of the stitched nesting rectangles to cut a piece of white cardstock. Then, using the polka dots embossing folder, run that piece through your machine. This will give your cardstock a great texture.
3. Cut a section of the Uniquely Creative elephant cardstock using the largest of the scalloped nesting rectangle. This will sit behind your white dotted panel.
4. Pop out the birthday wishes sentiment from the laser cut piece and cover it in versamark embossing ink. Cover that in black embossing powder to give a great shiny black finish. Tip: Do this twice to get a smooth finish.
5. Adhere the two panels together, and then add on the rainbow and sentiment. Use liquid glue to adhere these as Ashleigh has the embossed panel and that can cause some issues for glue tape. Add this panel to a card base.
