Creating a Rainbow Burst with Patterned Papers | Eva Pizarro

Hello everyone! It’s Eva here today, sharing a colorful layout using the Legendary collection.
For this design, I created a rainbow-style “ray of light” that radiates across the page. It’s a fun way to feature multiple patterned papers at once and add a bright, playful focal point to the layout.



Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cut a triangle at the base of your layout, starting about 2 inches above the bottom edge of the page and extending toward the upper part of the layout.
- Place a sheet of printer paper behind the opening and draw your rainbow rays.
- Cut out the rays from the printer paper and use them as templates to cut the different patterned papers. Leave a small margin on the sides and bottom to make sure everything is fully covered.
- Arrange the patterned papers to form the rainbow rays, gently creasing the edges for a bit of extra dimension.
- Add your photos near the bottom of the layout and include the title using the Chipboard Shapes.
- Finish the layout with a few florals made with the Garden Party Die and tuck small journaling spots along each rainbow color.
Tip: If you want a cleaner look, keep the rays in a similar width. If you prefer a more playful design, vary the width of each strip for added movement.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope this layout inspires you to play with patterned papers in a fun and colorful way!
Have a great day,
Eva
