We're thrilled to have Nicola Gold, of Amethyst Lily Designs, joining us today as our Guest Designer for this challenge.  Please join us in welcoming her.

 "Hi, I'm Nicola. I'm from South England, but I now live in Canada with my husband and two children. I recently became a Market Partner with Monat and I'm also the session rep for my daughter's pre-school class. I've been doing all sorts of crafts from a young age, but my biggest passion now is colouring and paper-crafting.

I am super thrilled to have been asked to guest design for Aurora Wings this month. I have loved Mitzi's images since I discovered them and always enjoy entering the challenges.

When I was told the theme, I decided to go all-out and I made seven ATCs to represent the whole rainbow!"
