I went literal this time for my reminder card. At first I was going to use my never before used (NBUS) Rainbow Infinity dies to create a straight forward CAS (clean and simple) rainbow card, but then decided to stretch my quite neglected Nesting Oval Infinity dies to create this cheery card.
I đid end up using the cloud dies from Rainbow Infinity though. The clouds and rainbow were both die cut from alcohol marker friendly (AMF) cardstock. The clouds were shaded with 0, C00, C1 and C2 Copic Sketch grey markers. For the rainbow, the oval dies were arranged flushed against each other to one end before running it through the die cutting machine resulting in this.
The rings were coloured in reverse rainbow order (normally red is on top) using Copic Sketch markers listed in my first challenge card post HERE. Applied clear shimmer to the rainbow for some sparkle.
The NBUS Big Hugs sentiment (love the large size) was initially going to be plain black. It was die cut 3x from scraps of black cardstock and stacked for dimension, but I changed my mind and settled on a silver foil sentiment instead. Assembled the card onto a white card base to finish.

Awesome rainbow card!!! You are always so clever stretching your dies, Trina! Who knew the rainbow was made of ovals? Brilliant and so creative! Your colouring gives a lot of dimensions to the arches and those clouds look really puffy! :) Also the big silver sentiment is just perfect!

Wow, who could think of using an oval die set like this to make a rainbow? You keep me amazed, Trina! Beautiful layout of the rainbow, the clouds, and the sentiment. The shine of the sentiment gives you a happy thought!
