Pastel Rainbow Banners and Hugs

It wasn't until recently that I started getting into the whole rainbow color pallet trend.  But this time of year, I do prefer my rainbows to be a little softer.  The pastel rainbow of banners on this card is a good fit for spring.  I enjoy sending little "love notes" year round - just because Valentine's Day is over, doesn't mean that there are people in your life who don't need a little reminder that they are loved.  

Here's how I did it: 

• I dry embossed my card front.  
• I cut the colorful strips for my card front (they are 3/8" tall x 2" long - the Pool play strip is 3-1/4" long).  
• I stamped my sentiment on the shorter strips, then banner cut the right ends of all the strips.  
• I adhered them onto the card front. 
• I punched the hearts out one time.  I used the two smaller hearts from the punch, attaching one with a foam square.  
• I added a few rhinestones to finish off the card.

Who do you know, that could use a little reminder of how loved they are?  Let me know in the comments!

Thanks for stopping by!

Much love,
