rainbow freckles + giveaway

have you heard of rainbow freckles? its a makeup trend that someone much younger and cooler showed me.

-instgram@jessicaaa_mua via self

and while i think i might be a little past rocking rainbow freckles, i found them pretty inspiring:
to create my rainbow freckled card, i cut a circle from masking paper and applied the mask to the front of my card.

then i used the smallest dot stamp from the essentials by ellen bokeh dots to stamp around the circle mask.

i stamped one color at a time and while it was a little time consuming, it was relaxing too. then finished my card with a sentiment in the middle, some watercolor butterflies and a few clear sequins.

now about the rainbow week giveaway!!! 
some lucky person is going to win a $25 gift certificate to ellen hutson llc. all you have to do is leave a comment between today and friday. the winner will be drawn on saturday, march 12th. 

and do you want to enter the giveaway more than once by commenting on more than one day? go for it! you can even share a link to rainbow week on social media for another entry (just be sure to leave me another comment or tag me).

happy tuesday!

xo,
carly
