MFT WSC #05 – Follow Your Rainbow


We’re back with another My Favorite Things Wednesday Thursday Sketch Challenge, and this week’s layout is such a fun one to play with!

I had to have some emergency dental work yesterday, and by the time it was completed, it made more sense to add it today.

Last week's winner's card has the cutest details! And I wish my office were this clean. But we won't talk about that, LOL.


This sketch features a large focal panel up top with a series of horizontal elements beneath—perfect for layering color, patterns, or textures while still keeping your design clean and balanced. Whether you love bold color or prefer a more subtle approach, this one is super versatile. 

For today’s inspiration, we’re featuring a bright and cheerful card from the Design Team that truly embraces the sketch in the most eye-catching way!

The layered rainbow stripes create a strong visual impact across the center of the card, perfectly echoing the horizontal elements in the sketch. Each strip is stitched for added detail and texture, bringing movement and cohesion to the design. Above the rainbow, a warm sun peeks out over the horizon, complete with soft rays and fluffy clouds that add dimension and a sense of calm.

Julie


The sentiment, “Follow Your Rainbow,” is the perfect finishing touch—simple, uplifting, and beautifully grounded beneath the colorful focal point.

This card is a wonderful example of how you can take a structured sketch and really make it your own with color, layering, and thoughtful details.

Rebecca

Rebecca has created this really cool card that uses a monochrome color palette, and it's on point. Seriously, this card is stunning.

Jess


I love how Jess chose to use dye inks along and created a background feature to create the lined feature in the sketch. Very clever!

Jeanne

Jeanne created her background using dye inks, but it looks completely different than the one Jess or Rebecca created! She also used a monochrome color scheme. That must've been on everyone's mind this week. I love this pink flamingo!

Deborah

 

Deborah used the cloud stencil to create her create this adorable card using the perfect inks for her design. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't mind taking a good, long nap on these clouds!

Now it’s your turn! We can’t wait to see how you interpret this week’s sketch. Will you go bold and bright, soft and subtle, or somewhere in between?
