Rainbow Love by Leonie Neal-Dawson

Hello, how about some rainbow love to kick off the weekend?

Rainbows never fail to to bring a smile to my face. 

Just throw those seven colours together and bam instant happy hit right there!

I created this page last weekend at a scrapbooking retreat on the sunshine coast (thats bound to make anyone happy).

As well being a whole heap of fun Retreat scrapping is great for 

bouncing ideas off your fellow scrappers. 

I just added dobs of Dina Wakley acrylic paint across the page and used a paint brush to drag the colour down the page.  Make sure to clean the brush between each colour. 

I then added Tim Holtz rubons randomly over the page and some background stamping.

I also added some white texture paste (light and fluffy modelling paste by The Crafters Workshop is great stuff) through some stencils. I find it helps to tone down the rainbow but still let all those glorious colours shine through if you know what I mean. 

My photo is backed with gauze and a border of black stitching to help the photo pop off the page - thanks to fellow Dt member Tracey Thorne for the idea and lone of her sewing machine whilst at retreat ;) it added that finishing touch I was after. 

Tracey also gifted me that lovely cut file title from her scrappy stash - Thanks Tracey x

I added some tone on tone enamel dots over the rainbow and a quote from Dina Wakley Collage paper.

Thanks for stopping by the 

Scrapping Clearly blog. 

Happy crafting.
