Today, I'm playing with
Double Trouble Challenge Blog #26, as well as
The Joy of Sets #004. Double Trouble asks for water to celebrate (shower) or rain. An additional prompt is to add a bumbershoot or umbrella. Then, we can also add what we've created to
The Joy of Sets if we use a row of their TicTacToe board.
I selected to use rain, but of course to celebrate spring as well. I do love umbrellas and I've always wished to have pretty rain boots like these. The images and sentiment come from a Penny Black set called
April Showers.
Following the tic-tac-toe board, I added some lacy ribbon, some pretty flowers and pearls on the flowers and some of the raindrops. The background was blended with Distress Oxides and the images were colored with Copics.
Thanks for stopping by. I do enjoy any comments that you have time to leave for me!

ReplyDeleteThanks so very much, Andrea!
DeleteBeautiful background and love the rain drops you created. I think I want a pair of floral boots. You surely created a Happy card. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble and and picking up on all the busyness of our challenge this week.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't those boots be fun, Sue? I wish it would rain a bit more here just to justify such a purchase, LOL! Thanks!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous card - and we could really do with those boots in the UK as the weather can't make up it's mind. Thanks for joining us at #JOSTTT004 this month.
ReplyDeleteFiona, sorry I didn't respond sooner. My gmail thought you were spam! Obviously you are not! Thank you for your sweet comment. I would so love to visit the UK someday. Rain and all!
DeleteGorgeous, I adore the colours and wellies. Thanks for joining the #JOSTTT04 challenge.
ReplyDeletePleased to have been able to join in, Sarah. Thank you!
DeleteLove the coloring...I've always wanted "fancy" rainboots, too. I've learned that people in Western Washington really don't use umbrella's but they can be so bright and colorful. Thanks for ALWAYS being a Double Trouble participant!
ReplyDeleteOh,I love umbrellas too! They don't work well in wind though, maybe that's why? Thanks for the kind comment!
DeleteYour cards continue to "wow", Jean! This is fabulous. I love the way you used the pearls and your coloring and blending is superb. Thank you for joining us at Double Trouble #26.
