Mid-Month Inspiration for the April Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge

Hello and welcome!  Here's some mid-month inspiration for the April Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge!  

Our sponsor is Artful Angel and I hope you will have a chance to enter.  All you need to do to enter is create a card with a caffeinated, Christmas, and rainbow theme!

I made my card from 2 dies that I received for free as they were free with purchase quite some time ago.  First is the Happy Holidays die which was a collaboration  with Spellbinders and Scrapbook.com.  The second free die was a tall tea/coffee cup with tiny tea bag die, also a freebie with purchase from Trinity Stamps.  

I combined them with rainbow foil from DecoFoil, some preprinted rainbow toner sheets, and toner sheets with double sided adhesive to create my rainbow card.

Here's a look at the work in progress, while I was deciding on the layout.

     

Here's the layout I decided to go with:

After foiling the rainbows I fussy cut out 5 of them and added them to the left side of the card.  Then I made a bigger sheet of just rainbow foiled (on the black toner sheets) so I could die cut the word die and the cup.  I also die cut the cup from thick watercolor paper so I could get a little more dimension under the edges of the cup.

Here's one closer look at the rainbow foil:


And here's one look at the foil from a different angle:

I've linked my supplies below, except the two dies that are not longer available.

I hope you like my card for today and will enter this month's challenge for a chance to win the random prize and/or to be selected to guest design with us in the future!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
