Hey hey, Fetti fans. It's Lisa Henke here and I have a rainbow of goodness to share. I have been seeing lots of cards with cardstock strips as the background. In lots of different colors and sizes and directions. My friend Erica inspired me and encouraged me, so I got busy with a rainbow palette in RC colors. I cut two different sized strips, 1 inch and the other in .5 inch with Rose, Sunshine, Lime Green, RC Aqua, and Grape Soda card stock.  
I chose to add the wider stripes, the 1 inch pieces in a horizontal direction on a 4.25 c 5.5 card base. I colored up a handful of the sweet critters from Spring Bunnies. I used the matching Spring Bunnies Confetti Cuts to cut each of the images out. 

 I used one of the sweet bunnies colored with copics and added it to the Happy Easter Confetti Cuts in Iced Aqua card stock. I tied on a b&w bakers twine bow to finish off the card. 

My second card uses the smaller strips and in a vertical direction. Same colors and same stamp set. I used cluster of images and added them to a hand cut strip of Lime Green grass. 


I stamped  a sentiment from Spring Bunnies onto Midnight card stock and heat embossed it in white. I finished this card off with the b&w bakers twine also and tucked in some clear sequins. 


I love how these backgrounds turned out. It was quick and easy and I can see myself trying this with other colors for lots of occasions. Have a great day!
