Mod Squad Challenge - Rainbow Connection

Dear Ones~
It's time once again for me to host the challenge over at The Mod Squad Challenge Blog. This week the theme is THE RAINBOW CONNECTION! It's March, and that mean's St. Patrick's Day, and that means Leprechauns, and that mean's pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. So.....you are invited to paint a rainbow on your card. You don't necessarily have to do an actual rainbow, but you must use rainbow colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. 


This week our SPONSOR is the wonderful stamp company  

 

Kitchen Sink Stamps offers us a discount CODE: ModSquad15.

  These stamps are amazing. Most have a multi-stamp feature that lets you get great detail in your images using several colors. There is real dimension with a 3-D effect! And one of the best features of this stamp company is that there are color recipes for most of the multi-step stamps, so you don't have to guess what colors to use. There are even alternative colors if you don't have the inks that are suggested. Maria from Kitchen Sink Stamps is a member of our Mod Squad Challenge Facebook Group so feel free to say Hi or ask any questions.

THE PRIZE
$25 GIFT CERTIFICATE to the store. 
You can pick your own goodies and there are lots of choices!

Here is a sample for you:
I made this Mandela style design using the Kitchen Sink Stamp Set called Pretty Tear Drops. This set has so many possibilities for design and pattern. I used 11 different colors of ink on this one. It was so much fun!!!! I also used a couple of stamps from the Nesting Dolls set and the Friends of the Moon set. Both of those have little stamps that are perfect for making patterns. The greeting is from the fabulous new set called Make a Big Statement.

 Here's a close up of the dimension I achieved with 
fussy cutting and pop dots:

These are the Ingredients:
GKD Inks In:
