Here is my challenge:
Show me your April showers!
I have 2 requirements for you:
1. Use an image with a duck, a puddle, an umbrella or anything resembling rain or water!
2. Use a fun technique on your card that is “water” related!
Here are some fun techniques for you to think about:
• Gel (water) Card
• Misting with Markers
• Waterfall Card
• Wiper Card
• Wet Paper Watercoloring
• Watercolor your image with pencils and an aqua painter
• Use Crystal Effects
• Emboss acetate
Here is my card:
I used a Fiskars embossing plate for my background (which I just noticed that I put onto my card UPSIDE DOWN!! Hehehehe....ooopsie!). Oh well. Anyway, I sponged SU! Bashful Blue ink over the top to make the raindrops pop. The image is from Stamping Bella - Billybootabella - and it was one of the mini limited edition stamps that I got free with an order last year. I colored her in Copics, mounted the image on a SU! Real Red scallopped oval cut with my Nestabilities. I added some ribbon, some brads and a small sentiment from the SU! set Teeny Tiny Wishes. For my final requirement I covered her umbrella and boots in Crystal Effects and here is a close-up so you can see what I see in real life:
I really hope you enjoyed my challenge ☺ I also hope you hop on over to all of the Calendar Girls blogs to check out their creations....the blogs are all listed in my left hand column!
Thank you for looking....and I hope all of the April showers we have been getting will bring you all beautiful May flowers!!

What a fun card Terry and a fun challenge as well (even though I kinda messed mine up :(...) I love your rain and image and like always your card is classy and fun....Great job done by a very talented stamper...hugs my friend...♥
ReplyDeleteRaindrops don't have a top and bottom, so I don't see that your fabby 'dp' is upside down! You rocked this challenge, and I don't think I pulled if off nearly as well as the rest of the Calendar girls!!
