Here For You...Rain or Shine

Hello and Thank you for visiting my Blog today.  As we all are faced with a new reality of living under "Shelter In Place" mandates, no school and scarcity of toilet paper, let us remember to be thankful that we are healthy and living in the wealthiest country in the world. The Grocery Stores will continue to restock food and paper products, despite widespread panic. Many people are hopeless because they think it is the end of the world as we know it. If we focus on the positive and take care of each other I have faith that we will weather this storm. 

Speaking of weather - I made this spring time card  as part of the Not 2 Shabby Design Team to remind all of you that I am here for you rain or shine! Enjoy!

"Spring is in the Air" Stamp Set from Not 2 Shabby

I used a Postage Stamp Nesting Die set that I had in my stash to cut out the frames. I used Lawn Fawn pattern paper behind the cute critters. This paper is from the Lawn Fawn Hello Sunshine Remix 6 x 6 Paper Pad that I purchased from Not 2 Shabby.

I used Copic Alcohol Ink Markers to color in the cute bunny and chick and their umbrellas. I used a puddle stamp from a Lawn Fawn Swan Soiree Stamp Set that I purchased at Not 2 Shabby and fussy cut the puddle for under the feet of the critters. 

Here's a close up of the cloud with sentiment embossed on it. This cloud is from a die from my stash. The cloud was embossed with light blue embossing powder, but there were sections that didn't emboss very well. As you can see, that was OK because it looks really cute with the sentiment stamped with black embossing powder.

My second card features rainbow colored watering pails mounted with foam tape onto square die cuts. I used pattern paper from Lawn Fawn (the Lawn Fawn Hello Sunshine Remix 6 x 6 Paper Pad) to cut a banner and stamped and embossed the word Hello from the stamp set. 

My third card features rainbow colored umbrellas popped up on foam dots on top of rainbow pattern paper from the Lawn Fawn Hello Sunshine Remix 6 x 6 Paper Pad that I purchased from Not 2 Shabby. I did not put a sentiment on this card, but I can later when I mail it out.

"Summertime Buddies"

And my fourth card uses the Summertime Buddies stamp set from Not 2 Shabby.  

To create this card, I used a stencil from Brutus Monroe (Tangled Waves) to create the ocean. I inked it using Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink. I colored my images with Copic Alcohol Ink Markers. I used Sandcastle Embossing Powder from Brutus Monroe to Create a Sand Dune (cut free hand from Craft Card Stock).
