Krafty Chicks challenge #744 - All Occasions

Good morning lovely friends. I hope you're all doing ok and having a great week so far. It's time for a new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge. This week is Week 4 and as always the theme is 'All Occasions' and Lori is our hostess. As the theme suggests you are free to make whatever creation you like such as Christmas, new baby, anniversary or even birthday.  We hope you will come over and join in the fun with us.

It was my niece's birthday last weekend so I used this opportunity to make a card for her.  She's not really a girly girl so went for rainbow colours and some fun die cuts.  I hope you like it. 

Here is my card:

A close up of the die cuts:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I like to make 5" x 7" cards for close family so I cut my white panel to 4 3/4" x 6 3/4" and my black mat layer just an 1/8" bigger.  I began by ink blending my rainbow colours all over the white panel.  I then chose some fun musical themed stamps, as well as some splatter type stamps, and randomly stamped them over the ink blended panel to create a unique background.  I adhered the panels together with double sided tape.  I die cut the headphones from black and white card and added them together with liquid glue.  I stamped the sentiment in black ink onto white card and used a sentiment strip die to cut it out.  I die cut the word niece 3 times from black card and adhered them together with liquid glue.  Finally instead of embellishments I die cut some small stars from coloured card from each of the rainbow colours and some musical notes from black card.  The headphones, sentiment and stars were all added with foam squares and the niece word and musical notes were added with liquid glue.  The panel was then added to my card base with foam tape.  For the inside I cut the same size white and black panels and adhered them together with double sided tape.  I masked off a small border at the bottom and again ink blended and stamped to match the front of the card.  I added 2 stars and 1 musical note with liquid glue.  I stamped my sentiment in the upper centre of the panel with black ink.  The panel was then added to my card base with double sided tape.  A fun card, that's bright and funky, but not too girly.
