RAINY WEATHER CHC

 

 Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for,
 
  The theme for this month is "Rainy Weather"

Would you believe I had trouble coming up with a card for a rainy day? I just couldn't decide, out of all the things I have on the subject of rain. Anyhow, after a few trials went into the bin, I put this together and although it's nothing much, it makes me smile.

I have had the images for years. The Raining image and the watering can were taken into Silhouette to print and cut 4 times. After a lot of faffing about with 2 other images and these, I decided to use just the 2 with a sentiment, which is computer generated. I guess I had it from the web a long while ago. The images were already coloured, I just added a light grey border for shadow on the watering can. 

I placed the layered can and raining girl, onto a dark grey card, well it is a rainy day, and drew, with the glue pen some rain, then heat embossed with the embossing powder. The sentiment was printed and die cut. It just needed a die cut tiny butterfly too. Very simple, but as I said, but it makes me smile.

image - I can't read the designer, but it was from Hugware, (long time gone.)
watering can - Garden showers - Lettering Delights
butterfly - Tattered Lace
glaze - Nuvo Crystal Glaze 
Quickie glue pen
embossing powder - WOW Clear Sparkle

Hope to see you at the Anything Goes Challenge, it's on for the rest of the month.

A well titles post Faith, but no rain today here, an overnight frost and looks like there will be some sunshine. An ingenious card to reflect the theme.

Love the sparkling embossed water that comes out from the watering can and that cute smiling bunny!

Delightfully creative card! It's fun afterwards to see how resourceful you were, but anxious til then, eh? What we do for a challenge, lol. It's raining cats and dogs here currently, Faithie. But it's 17C daytime so I'll take it and be happy. A cool front stalled over us, what dumb luck! And clearing on Sunday. Hope you have an eggstra special Easter! XOX
