I made rain

on a card and I love it!

I picked up a couple of new digi stamps from The Greeting Farm yesterday and could not wait to get out my copics.  What did I do before someone convinced me to buy these expensive, but glorious markers?  I am thinking that I need a few more soon--they are addicting.

I started with Kazan's sketch 48 from 2S4U and my new stamp and mojo just flowed.  I was stuck in a circle rut and the rectangle on the sketch helped me break out.  The Couture Cardstock blog challenge of the day is use markers--perfect.  I also started with their fabulous blending paper.


Come Rain or Come Shine.  Supplies: Paper: My Little Shoebox, Cardstock: Couture Cardstock, Digital Stamp: The Greeting Farm, Font: Kristen, Bling: Heidi Swapp, Markers: Copic, Machine: Cuttlebug (Provocraft), Dies: Spellbinders, Acetate: Recycled Packaging, Adhesive: Plaid.

The stamp is on the inside of the card while the rain is attached to the front.  I used the sheet that the bling came on and just snipped different lengths for some rain.


I wanted a ton of height so I worked the pop dots like mad.  The clouds and mushrooms are snipped from the cutest My Little Shoebox paper and put at different levels.  For the frame, I used several different spellbinder dies.



I had way too much fun with this card! Back to the scrappy desk I go.  Smooches.
