You're My Sunshine

Just a clean and simple feeling card, but it was a surprising amount of work!  *LOL*

The sentiment is from SP & Company's Rain Boots.  I stamped it in Memento's Tuxedo Black and then added a little Irock gem to do the i.  

The cool chevron is from their set Chevron Chase.  This was the tricky part.  The stamp is a decent size and I wanted small sections so I could do this rainbow effect. I cut a couple masks and started trying to do this, and I was having tons of trouble.  Even though it's a clear stamp when it was inked up I was having a hard time seeing through the extra inked lines and I kept stamping very close, but not close enough to avoid parts of my lines getting cut off by the masks.  With each line so close together it's tricky stuff.

So, I decided to be REALLY brave and very carefully cut the stamp so that I could work with 4 rows at a time.  It worked!  When I cut it I went VERY slowly because I was cutting each little jagged spot.

I used the Stampin' Up ink colors: Real Red, Only Orange, Yo Yo Yello, Glorious Green, Brilliant Blue, and Perfect Plum.
