Splash

Hello!

Have you had a good weekend?  It has been gloriously sunny here so the only raindrops are on my card :)  This is a shaker card that I made for this week's CASology challenge with the cue card Splash.  It seemed like a good opportunity to use my new Weather It stamps and dies from Avery Elle:

 

I stamped the raindrops from the set in Teal Zeal from Memento and used some Wink of Stella.  The umbrella is die cut and I backed it with acetate before inlaying the handle.  I used a selection of doodlebug sequins for the shaker element.  I have never made a shaker card before - it was lots of fun!  I will also link up with Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday challenge to use die cuts.

 

I am way behind with the OCC Watercolour for Cardmakers class but have loved seeing the videos and all of the fantastic cards that others have created.  Here is a (very simple) watercolour card made using the Sochatoa set from Altenew and a sentiment from Avery Elle's Handwritten Notes stamps.  The triangles are watercoloured with Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick, Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade Distress Inks.

 

 

Thanks for your visit - I really appreciate you stopping by :)
