H’mm, not sure about that, but there’s certainly a rainbow!
This month’s Art Journey Challenge is a Man’s card in Rainbow colours, so here’s my entry.
This is a scan of how it looked before I added the black and white images.
I think the white makes the other colours pop. The rainbow background was made in the same way as the last one I did, using red, yellow and blue dye inks (Adirondack), but this time on ordinary cardstock.
Not too sure about the rainbow brads – I wanted to tie knots but am having problems with one of my hands, so decided on brads. I’m a bit happier with them now that I’ve added the other images, though.

Oh yeah, great call. I totally agree, the white image really does make the other colours stand out more if that makes sense.
I love those brads, great addition.
Is your hand playing up because it's sooooo cold outside, or so they tell me!!
Take care - Sam xxx

Oooo this is fabulous, I nearly bought that stamp yesterday, put it in my cart and then took it out again, if I'd seen the way you've used it I would have bought it. You've made a fantastic card. xx
it's great!!!
I love the card - you are totally right about the white making it pop. Love the brads, and the stamp like Ann says, is wonderful!
Absolutely beautiful.
Fabulous color design. Love them.
Fab card Cath, so striking and the black and white gents pop of the page. I think the brads work just fine.

Love how you've used the colours and the white on there works perfectly X
Hi Cath, how is your hand doing?
In spite of that, you made a beautiful rainbowcard (sure these are rainbowcolours!!). I also choose the friends for my challengecard and masked them.
The card is ready, but I don't know yet if I should colour the sweaters. Now I see your card....!!
It's looks beautiful this way.
You will see what I decided to do.
Good luck on your entry.
Love Gery
Terrific design and colours, it has the wow factor. Annette x
coo, that's beautifully put together Cath!
This is fab - and I love that you're showing us with white and without! (With white gets my vote too!) Vicky x

Mmmm can see what you mean, I too prefer the one with the black and white Cath and the rainbow background really does pop.
Thanks for linking it to FSC challenge.

PS looking to see where you live. have I missed it somewhere on your brilliant blog?
So bright and zingy. And you are right, adding the white makes such a big difference. Somehow that image looks larger now. And I think the brads work too. Hope your hand improves. xx
Stunning card. Adding white really makes the colors pop. Almost forgot about brads! Great addition here. Thanks for joining us at FSC! Best, Yvonne

Absolutely gorgeous, love the colours
You've created a wonderful card in great colors. Love all the details. Thanks for joining us at FSC this fortnight.
Beautiful card and yes the men only in black/white is definitely much better.
This is fabulous Cath, I like the guys white shirts too - they really do make the other colours pop x
Absolutely gorgeous! The second card is as you said better because of the image popping!
You have made such an amazing rainbow card for a man Cath it is so inspiring.
Thank you for sharing with us at Fashionable Stamping Challenges.

Both cards are fabulous Cath but the second one certainly stands out more.

I agree, the guys do pop in their white shirts. I think this effect is stunning. I love the stamp and the colouring. Thanks for sharing with us at Fashionable Stamping. Caz
The white was the perfect decision Cath as it makes the other colours pop and far more vibrant.
Thanks for sharing with us at Fashionable Stamping Challenge.

Great card,
I agree it really pops with the white shirts.

Very nice background. Beautifully blended! I also posted a wee card for the challenge on my new blog. Anni/Handgathered
