Good morning everyone and it doesn't seem two minutes since I was saying Friday again and here we are back at the weekend!
Yesterday was pretty much a washout as far as weather was concerned it was pretty miserable and cold here in Blackpool I had to keep switching the heating up which is something I rarely did in winter! So on that theme I have got a rainy card for you:
Two little cuties splashing in the rain! This image is from a Mabel Lucie Attwell CD that my DH bought me at Christmas (well I got it he paid for it!!) and this is the first time I have used it! To tell the truth I was a bit disappointed with the CD it didn't have as many images as I thought it would. It had stuff for decoupage, some backing papers and inserts which are funny sizes (mostly rectangle I think) so I can't really shrink them down for my square cards. Anyway I thought it was about time I used some of the images especially as I had seen some nice rubber ones on Sue and Teresa's blog and before I was tempted to buy some rubber ones. I do love these images they remind me of my childhood. I have coloured the image with Copics and Prisma Pencils and then cut and matted with my Spellbinders. The umbrella die is by Memory Box. I have added Glossy Accents to the raindrops not sure if you can see it on this picture. The sentiment is computer generated (Channel Font) and cut and embossed with Spellbinders Banner die. The ribbon is from my stash. Now the paper is years and years old I think one of the first paper stacks I bought and this is the first time I have used any of them. They are by Papercraft 4 You and I probably got them from QVC, I am trying to use some old (vintage hehe) stock up! I would like to enter the following challenges:
