Rain or Shine

Hello! Today I wanted to share a card I made using the flower shower stamp set from Mama Elephant. This stamp is similar to the set from Simon Says Stamps Stamptember limited collection a few years ago. I'm happy ME decided to release this one so if you missed the SSS you can snatch this version instead. 

First I stamped the critters using alcohol friendly ink. I used copic markers to color them and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. There are four critters holding a flower/leaf, some puddles, raindrops and a turtle. 

For my background I ink blended the sky using distress oxide inks. I went with a soft pastel color and I love using these color combinations together. It's wilted violet, peacock feathers and spun sugar. I splattered some water and diluted wilted violet onto the panel for more interest. 

To ground the images I used a grass die cut from light green cardstock. I inked the grass edges using cracked pistachio to add more depth.

I heat embossed the sentiment onto navy cardstock and trimmed it down. I love dimension on my card so I popped all the images and grass border with double sided foam tape. To fill in the scene I added some clouds to balance the top part of the panel. Finally I added some white highlights using a white gel pen.

That completes my card, I hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!!
