March at Stamping Sensations

Good morning, It's time for our March challenge at Stamping Sensations and this month we are looking for
****Somewhere over the Rainbow****
As the title suggest we would love to see your hand stamped creations that reflect that song or the colours of a rainbow. I am sure you will come up with lots of fabulous designs.
My first card this month features gorgeous teasel stamps from Woodware. I created the background with Distress Oxide Inks on to a craft mat, spritzing with water, then laying over a piece of watercolour card. Once it was dry, I stamped with Versafine Clair in Nocturne.The sentiment is from Crafty Individuals, and is much straighter IRL than it appears in this photo!
 My second card was a respray and second 'dip' onto the same craft mat. I stamped the gorgeous Pink Ink Design hare onto the background once dry, along with the grasses and teasels from the same set. I stamped it a second time onto some smooth white card, cutting out and matting into place with a little 3d glue just under the ears. I am very impressed with the quality of these gorgeous stamps and I definitely need more!
Our prize this month is a selection of fabulous dies, which you can find more details of on the challenge blog.

You're definitely rocking these rainbow backgrounds Mrs. H. Two wonderful cards and I think I have 'Pink Ink' envy looking at your second card, it's terrific. Great intensity of colour on your first card. I love them both. Wishing you a happy and colourful week x

Two lovely cards Sally, love the inky backgrounds. The hare is a must have on my list! I nearly bought him yesterday but settled for giraffe instead. You are right about the quality of these stamps, love mine.

Two fabulous cards Sally, the teasel stamp looks stunning against the vibrant rainbow background. Love that hare popping up to take centre stage on the second one.
