I made this card for a friend of mine.

The rain boots are a $1 stamp I found at Micheal’s.  I stamped it on the green color card stock and then put some Glossy Accents on them with a little green Stickles for some shine.

The rain drops and splashes are from Cloud 9.

The sun is an inking technique that I’m going to do a video on.  It is really an easy technique and it gives stunning results.  I added some yellow Stickles to the rays to add a little dimension.

The base of the card is acetate that I ran through a Fiskars rain drop embossing plate.  The tag is a digi stamp that I got free from Meljen’s Designs.  She is so sweet to give you a freebie usually on Monday’s and a sneak peek of a new digi stamp release on Fridays.  I ran some acrylic ink in Lemonade around the acetate.

Believe it or not I made my own rub-ons for the Rain and Shine (oh yes I think that needs to be a How To video).

I colored the sweet bear and the flowers with my Copics and I think I used every color I own.

I used some more Glossy Accents and Stickles to give the flowers depth and texture.

I decorated the back of the tag and the piece that was holding the tag so you could see a surprise sentiment when you flipped the acetate card over.

I used a tape runner to attach the tag sleeve to the acetate making sure I went as close to the edges as I could get so the tag could slide in and out.  I ran a bead of glue on the tag sleeve where I wanted the tag to stop, making a nice little pocket for the tag to slide into.

This card was based on the GTS (Go To Sketches) by PaperCrafts page 12.

I love it when a sketch and idea come together.

Thanks for looking and be sure and leave me a comment, love hearing from you.
