The Sisterhood of Snarky Crafters - guest designer card

Hello Saturday friends; I'm here again today to share my card as guest designer for The Sisterhood of Snarky Crafters challenge. I was lucky enough to win one of their recent challenges and was honoured to be asked and jumped at the chance to be a guest designer. The challenge this month is 'R is for rainbow' and they want to see your actual rainbows or rainbow coloured projects.  Also snark is not mandatory but is highly encouraged and appreciated.

I love a good snarky sentiment so could not miss the opportunity to use one.  I recently got this fun Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous stamp & stencil combo and the fun cat along with the sentiments are just hilarious.  I kept it fairly simple but I think it turned out fab.  I hope you like it too. 

Here is my card:

A closer look at the details:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by die cutting a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and using the stencil on an angle created my fun rainbow background (I only used the ink left on my brushes as it was such a small area).  I stamped the cat, the hat, balloon and tie onto alcohol marker friendly card and coloured them with Promarkers.  There aren't any dies so I fussy cut them out.  I decided to trim the panel down slightly so the finished size is 3 3/4' x 5" and adhered all the elements with foam squares.  I stamped the sentiment at the bottom with black ink (I laugh every time I read it lol!).  I didn't add any other dimension (for a change) and adhered the panel directly to my card with double sided tape.  For the inside I used the stencil along the bottom of the panel, again going in rainbow order.  I stamped the balloon string with black ink and adhered the balloon over top with liquid glue.  The sentiment was stamped in the centre with black ink and the panel was added to the card base with double sided tape.
