Rainbow backgrounds

Another set of cards made during lockdown and these all have several things in common, all the images were coloured in 2013..... yes you read that correctly 2013. I took only grey markers on holiday and sat and coloured these images. Since then they have sat in a box with a lot of other coloured images waiting patiently and now finally they have made it onto cards....woohoo.

I have been using up scraps of white card from wedding invites and using the direct to colour paper method, this time I used distress inks and I like these so much more than the oxides. I went with a rainbow colour scheme and managed to make 6 backgrounds and I have quite a bit left to make some more.
