TOTW - Rainbow Connection

This technique started out as a total mistake, as most techniques do, but the end result was so wonderful that I knew I would have to share it!

You will need:
- a rainbow of Glimmer Mists: red, yellow, green, blue, pink or purple
- white cardstock
- a brayer

Step One: Protect your work surface and your clothes. Glimmer Mist is water-based and will wash off, but it's still messy!

Step Two: Spray the first colour of Glimmer Mist (red) on the far left side of your white cardstock...three squirts out to do it. Now quickly use the brayer to spread the ink up and down on the page. Roll it right through the Glimmer Mist without lifting it off the page. If you didn't apply enough Glimmer Mist for it to cover from top to bottom of the page, spray a little bit more and spread it out with the brayer again.

Step Three: Spray the next colour (yellow) right beside the red, and use the brayer to spread it out again. The two colours will blend at the edge...and that's what we want!

Step Four: Continue spraying each colour in order and spreading with the brayer until you reach the other side of the page.

Step Five: Finish your layout! I chose embellishments that matched each colour in my rainbow, still keeping it very minimal. This fun techneek provided the perfect background for some photos I took of my colourful art wall at home...on a day when I was very colourful myself!

You could also try:

- Making stripes out of only two colours! Just alternate spraying the two on your background for a more monochromatic look.

- Start your rainbow at the bottom or the corner instead of the side of your paper

- Take a photo of a rainbow after a storm to add to your beautiful background...us northeners might have to wait a couple of months for that shot!!

- Take photos of a red item, yellow item, green item, blue item and purple item from around your home or work...preserve for the future the rainbow that is your life!
