In my humble opinion, one of the best assignments we are given on the Doodlebug team is to revisit a collection we haven't featured for a bit. It is so much fun because you see it with a new set of eyes and it's like discovering the magic all over again!
Now this might sound funny, but one of the things I think I overlooked the last time I worked with collection is just how happy it really is. I mean, the colours alone are enough to brighten up any day. So I decided that on these gloomy days of spring, celebrating the happy with a new card set was just what I would do.
Now, if you have seen any projects I have done in the past, you'll know that I am all about the layers. But one of the amazing things about Over The Rainbow is that because the colours and patterns are so bold, layering actually seems to take away from the designs. I had these cards layered with all sorts of tags and cuties from the Odds and Ends and Chit Chat packs, but as I worked with the design, I kept peeling them back, one by one.
The funny part was that as I would get them down to a fairly simple design, I would try layering them up again, only to find myself peeling things back again. These cards, while they look simple, took me FOREVER to finalize!
But I really love them the way they are. The white border around the dies cuts creates just enough contrast to make them pop without competing with the amazing patterns and colours on the 6x6 paper I used for the bases.
A few strategically placed mini jewels on each design was all they needed for a little extra umph!
At the end of the day, these cards make me smile and I am so glad that I got to dig in and pull out all the fun rainbow aspects of this collection. Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,
