You make me happy ....

.... when skies are grey!  And they are certainly grey here today!  However, the upside is that while it's grey and wet, it is very much warmer than it has been, a good reason to be happy.  This card has been made with a couple of challenges in mind:

Stamps: PTI - Scattered Showers; Stampin' Up! - See Ya Later
Inks: Memento - Cottage Ivy, Pear Tart, New Sprout
Dies: Spellbinders - Squares Lg (S4-126) #7, Squares Sm (S4-128) #7
Accessories: White Lustre Card; Green Mirri Card


My inspiration of the words "Dancing in the Rain", the theme at the new challenge Time Out Challenges, immediately reminded me of the movie Singin' in the Rain, one of our all time favourites and it always makes me happy.  So when I saw the stamp in See Ya Later, I had to combine the two.  I used the sketch and repeated stamping from Fusion.

I stamped the umbrella around the edge in two shades of green and added the handle in another green.  I die cut a mat of dark green mirri card and on the white panel stamped the sentiment and added another brolly.  On the inside I cut a mat of mirri card and on the white card I randomly stamped some raindrops and another sentiment.  I put the sentiment off to one side to allow plenty of room for me to write a message.

I mentioned the rain we are having and the warmer temperatures  - it's great, the snow is finally melting away and this is the view from my craft room window:

The grass is looking a little sad, but with some sunshine it'll soon green up!  We had 77 days continuous days with more than an inch of snow here in Northville.  I've never experienced a winter like this before!!!  That's all for now.  I'd better get on with some housework stuff!!

You make me happy ....

...  Hello!  This morning I have a clean, simple and bright card to share with you.

Stamps: Stampin' Up! - Petal Parade, See Ya Later
Inks: SU - Daffodil Delight, Lucky Limeade
Dies: Spellbinders - Lotus (S4-269); SU - Word Bubble Framelits
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU Card - Lucky Limeade


This week at Less is More - LIM#161 they have a colour challenge to use GREEN and YELLOW, such bright, fresh, springlike colours.  I'm also submitting this card to MUSE - MUSE#57 where Vicki Dutcher is the Muse.  I stamped the leaves directly on the card, and stamped the flower and sentiment onto some scrap white card.  I die cut the Lotus doily and the sentiment.  I cut the flower out by hand.  On the inside I cut a mat layer of lime card and stamped some flowers on the white panel. 


I'm not entirely happy with this card - I really should have stamped another row of leaves above the one on the card.  But by the time I realised that I'd already attached the doily, sentiment and flower, so it'll just have to do!  That's all for now.
