GIU 2019 Day 5- Rainbow

Hello Unies!  Welcome back.  

Today, let's not just play with one or two colors.  Let's play with them all!!!  I love rainbows, seriously.  I remember when I was a kid getting just the right shades of crayons to make the best rainbows in the class.  I remember all things Lisa Frank and coveting my friend's rainbow kitten folder.  And when I discovered Unity Stamp Company, I decided I could and should make everything with rainbows.  I'm going to show you first my brand new rainbow-riffic project, but then I'm going to loop back and show you some of my other favorite rainbow projects from the past.  Angeline Choo will be proud!  She and I are rainbow and glitter soul sisters, I think!

 First off, here is my take on a rainbow floral. I used the Angie Blom masterpiece Rebuild Your Life for the rose, and because it was so unique, I used the sentiment from "things will work out."  The splattery edges are from the stamp set, "Let Adventure."  I used Van Gogh watercolors, and a smidgen of glossy accents and glitter for the stamens in the middle.  

When I showed my friends, Mooney and Sterner, Mooney told me it made her feel things and it felt like real art.  When asked, Sterner said it reminded her of Jerry Garcia.  Either way, this rose is "fun."

Below are some of my past rainbow works.  I've linked to the kits I've used in each.  Enjoy the color!

Here's your challenge today.  Rainbow-ify your stamps.  Fill your world with color.  Use colored inks, colored pencils, watercolors, crayons.  I don't care about the medium, but you need to play!  There's a reason people love rainbows.  They fill us with joy, they inspire us to believe there is hope, and they make us laugh.  If you decide to bring a little rainbow into the world, be sure to post a picture of it on the Unity Show and Tell or Instagram, and use the hashtag #colortheorywithShannon so I recognize that you were sent there by me!  

I've so enjoyed talking about color, florals, and different forms of media this week with you.  I hope you will keep in touch.  If you want to continue to see my work, follow me on Instagram through the handle @shannon.edwards.  I am also a pretty prolific poster on the Show and Tell on Facebook. 

Remember, if you want a chance at the Unity Prize Pack, be sure to comment on each day of this week's Growing in Unity 2019 blog.  I'll choose the winner early next week.

Happy stamping and creating, my friends!
