Colorful Rainbow

It is time for another Hot Mess card. This is card number 2, so I think I will highlight the theme again.   The idea of Hot Mess ~ Success started with Kelly recently making a card and using the #hotmess on her Instagram post.  As we were texting back and forth, she said we should come up with a new group and she volunteered me to set it up! I then asked Jeanette, part of our other three groups to join us in this challenge and I also asked Terry if she wanted to be a part of the messiness!  So--we are a group of 4 and we will post a card each month on the 12th.  The general theme is to Get Messy and you will have Success!  Messiness can be almost anything that we come up with--glitter, alcohol inks, glimmer glitz, sponged backgrounds, etc., anything that is a bit messy.  Most months there will not be a theme--like our inaugural month of August!   But, some times one of us might toss out a challenge for the group--so stay tuned!

Side Note--you are sure to realize that today is not the 12th and above I state we will post every month on the 12th.  Well--I messed up in the Hot Mess Group.  We posted on the 12th last month, our first month, and it was also the 2nd Monday of the month.  For September, I was thinking we post on the 2nd Monday, which was the 9th.  Jeanette, Kelly and I post our 3 Musketeers on the 9th, so I asked to move it back a week.  I did not realize until I copied the details from last month for this post, that it was to stay on the 12th every month.  Yes, Hot Mess for Me!

For this month's messiness, I used some colors of the Nuvo Embellishment Mousse that I recently bought.  I also used a great stencil from A Colorful Life called Bare Rainbow.  They have some wonderful stencils, so please check them out!  I used blender brush to lay down the color on the stencil.  That was my second try.  The first time I used a spatula and with the lines of the rainbow, it was hard to control.  I like the smooth look from the brushes too.  I then just added a die cut from MFT from silver metallic along with a few silver sequins.

Here is the inside of my card:

We will all be back each month, so be sure to check back to see what we are up to on October 12th!  And, yes, it will be on the 12th!
