Rainbow Floral Card Ideas with an Embossing Folder Hack | Take 2 with Therese
Looking for new ways to use your layered stencils and coordinating supplies? Today I’m sharing two rainbow floral card ideas using the same products, but with two very different design approaches. Each card shows how a simple rainbow color palette can be used to create unique looks, while stretching your supplies and adding creative detail to your cards.

Looking for new ways to use your layering stencils? Today I’m sharing two rainbow floral card ideas using the Stencil Art: Majestic Roses layering stencil set.

Card #1: Rainbow Ink Blended Blooms
I ink blended the Majestic Roses layered stencils using a soft rainbow color palette, then fussy cut the blooms to give me more flexibility with the design.
By trimming the bouquet in half, I was able to arrange the two large blooms in a fresh layout and add dimension by popping them up on a simple panel.
I finished the card with a premade “sweet” sentiment from the Sweet Jasmine Bundle, which pairs beautifully with the rainbow color palette.
And some Mother of Pearl Gem Sparkles!

Card #2: Rainbow Ink Blended Blooms - Step it Up!
For my second design, I used the same Stencil Art: Majestic Roses layering stencil set to create a softly stepped-up rainbow floral card. I began by ink blending the layered stencils on a Peachy Glow cardstock base to subtly change the look of the rainbow palette, then added gentle texture by embossing the panel and softening the raised areas.
BONUS IDEA: I added subtle texture by embossing and Organic Linen 3D background panel, then gently softening the raised areas with a teflon bone folder. This keeps the detail while preventing the texture from competing with the florals.
And why not step it up just one more time... with some Pure White Ink Spray splatter.

Which Rainbow Floral Design Will You Try First?
It’s amazing how the same Stencil Art: Majestic Roses layering stencil set can produce two very different rainbow floral card designs with just a few small changes. From clean and simple to softly stepped up, layered stencils offer endless ways to stretch your creativity and make the most of your supplies.
