Craft Roulette 123

 Today, I took part in the Craft Roulette challenge on YouTube.

The parameters this week were: 

Project: smaller/larger

Colors: blue, yellow, pink and red

Elements: stars

Random: stripes

At first, I found the parameters a bit overwhelming, but after some ideas from the comments section, I got creating! 

I made the rainbow by blending the blue with the yellow and the yellow with the red. I used the pink on the balloon, as well as on the elephant's ear. I used masking on either side of the card (stripes) as well as stripes in a sunburst stencil. I also stamped tiny little stars that came in two sizes (smaller/larger!).

And I made a video!
