Just playing...

Sometimes I just like to play. With no particular goal (no challenge, no event, no recipient) in mind.



That is what I did here--just played.

I used a baby wipe to make my own rainbow pad. I used Taken with Teal, Cool Caribbean, Creamy Caramel, More Mustard, Really Rust reinkers on a baby wipe , and used my brayer to do the background. I should have used glossy white, rather than whisper white paper, and the colors would have blended together better. But as I said, I was just fooling around.



I was inspired by a sunset that we saw driving to my mother-in-law's after picking my daughter from camp.



Though the results are far from perfect--I certainly had fun doing this. I have BIG plans for the next card.

• Stamps: Garden Silhouettes, Baroque Motifs
