No rain - no flowers

Hi,

I`ve been enjoying myself with some Copic coloring again, and this time I colored up sweet Marci with an umbrella from La la land crafts. I`m eagerly waiting for spring to arrive, so I chose to color her up in fun bright colors.

My card is 6*6 inches and on the front of my card I scored around the edges 1/8 inch in from the inside of my card. That way you get your score line indent out on your card front. The sky pattern paper that I used is a leftover piece from the Ciao Bella summer breeze paper pad. I lightly went around the edges with Distress ink in blue jeans before I backed it with a medium bright blue cardstock. I used the two biggest circles in the Spellbinders nestabilities Triple Tear S4-490 that is a favourite at the moment adding foam dots for dimention. I also backed Marci up on foam dots to make her stand out even more.

I was so happy with how Marci turned out and the colors I used are:

Face: E000-00-04-11-21

Hair: E15-18-95-97

Outfit: B21-24-28-29

Umbrella: Y11-13-15

YR00-12-15

R20-22-24

G00-02

B21-24

T1-3

This stamp is from an old club kit that also comes with some dies and sentiments to go with. I ran a raindrop border die through my machine and placed most of the raindrops back in place, securing them with a tape in order to use it as a tiny stencil. I decided to only go with a few drops and placed my DIY stencil just under the umbrella using a small spatula with the jummy Ranger distress Stickles in moon dust to add some sparkly raindrops. The "enjoy life" sentiment is from the same kit. To finish off my card I added some clear enamel drops from Simple and Basic, and I love how the fit the theme as they kind of look like little water drops.

I love how this card turned out and hope you like it too.
