rainbow run beside you


This card is for Embellish's Rainbow Color Trends Challenge! I'll admit, rainbows are a bit of a challenge for me. I knew I wanted to use twine, and after a few different ideas, this is what I settled on. Did anyone else ever make embroidery floss necklaces and stuff, with the different "staircase" stitches and such? Well I know I made a lot, and this was one technique for making necklaces- you twist the strands really tight, fold the strands in half, and then let them unwind- they end up winding around each other, and I always thought it looked neat :) I added a Unity sentiment stamp and some gems and there ya go!
