    On the Inspiration Challenge (IC431) on Splitcoast, Audrie has some awesome rainy day images to choose from and I love several of them. For my card, I chose THIS picture with the cute frog and his umbrella. I didn’t add any rain drops, but I did give my cute frog a little umbrella.

    So they say it rains a lot in the Pacific Northwet and it’s been so cold everywhere else, so my little froggie brought these lovely flowers to cheer us up. And all the green gives up hope that spring will be here soon. After stamping the frog, I colored him w/ Copics then used the splatter image and the lipstick ink underneath him. I also used a pink Copic to add more shading around him on the ground. The umbrella was stamped, colored and the handle part was done separately and added. I just thought it needed something and the umbrella fit the bill. The greeting was die cut as well as the flower & grass border. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

    This is the final day of the Serendipity Blog Hop and our last die to show you is this beautiful Ladybug! It is so detailed! The scoring and different size circles are just wonderful. It may be cliche, but I immediately thought red, white & black. A little funny, because ALL of the ladybugs we have around here are orange and black. Must be a different variety. Anyway, I die cut 3 ladybugs…1 red, 1 black & 1 white. The red is the main ladybug and I used the lg dots from the black version & small dots from the white version & I added dots w/ a white gel pen to the centers of the lg black dots.. I added a white die cut blossom layer underneath the ladybug and a die cut white flower.

    The red background was stamped w/ a cute little ladybug image and some black & white dp that I’ve had forever seemed to be a good match. The greeting was die cut with a fishtail banner & I found a package of little ladybug clothespins so I added it to the banner. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

    Thanks so much for stopping by! Now I’ll send you on to your next stop…the blog of the wonderful Karen Amidon!

    For my Sunny Chalkboard card,  I stamped the wonderful quote with white chalk ink onto black card stock. I used a white gel pen to highlight the frame and letter K then used a sponge and a very light touch to add some “chalk dust” to the background. The half sun image was stamped on white, colored with Copics and I trimmed around the rays to insert the chalkboard underneath. The black grid layer is a left over from a painted grid technique using white acrylic paint and drywall mesh. A few die cut buttons were stacked and added to the corner. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.
