Rainy Days are Better with You

 Hello Peeps!!!

Today's card share is one I made using the challenge at Inkspirational Challenges

The prompt is 

I pulled out another retired stamp set called Playing in the Rain stamp set.

My card:

The base of my card is Balmy Blue and then a layer of a piece of Balmy Blue DSP that I mounted on  a piece of Basic White cardstock.

I used another piece of Basi White to stamp the rain with Balmy Blue ink. then

I stamped the bunny image twice onto some Basic white and then colored him up using Blends.

I die cut him out with the matching dies and add the second bunny over the first image with dimensionals. I then matted this piece with another piece of Balmy Blue cardstock. 

I finished it up with some gingham balmy blue ribbon and few blue enamel dots.

That is all for now, thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin'

Life's Showers Bring Loves Flowers

  Hello Peeps!

My card share today is a card I made using the challenge at AAA Card Challenges

It is a pretty color challenge and you must use at least three of the colors shown.: 

I used another retired set called Umbrella Days.

My card:

I die cut my umbrellas using Timid Tiger, Fresh Freesia, and Pretty in Pink.

This die cuts the umbrella in 4 sections and that proved to be a bit of a challenge to put them together.

The handle is cut using Early Espresso.

The base of the card is Thick Basic White and followed with another piece of white that I embossed with the retired Rain Drops EF.

I stamped and then colored and fussy cut the flowers for the umbrellas.

I added the umbrellas to the card with dimensionals.

The sentiment come from the stamp set Under my Umbrella, retired. 

This was a fun one that I spent way too much time on, the ones that look simple generally are not, for me anyway!

That's it for now. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin!!

Hello Friend

 Hello all!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the challenge this week at Just Us Girls

Here is my card:

I pulled out another retired set called Hydrangea Haven, it comes with stencils/masks to color the flower. I used Highland Heather for my flower head and old olive for the leaves.

The background is stenciled with a paper lattice panel from Stampin' Up (retired).

I laid the paper lattice on my card and used a sponge brush with Highland Heater ink to stencil through it. Not its original use but it worked perfectly.  Here is a picture of the paper lattice:

Makes a nice stencil!!

 Well, that is it for me for now.

Thanks for coming by today!

Happy Stampin!
