WLSC Spring has Sprung

 

 This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme 

 
I saw this stamp set and had to have it, I thought it cute.  My mojo is still on holiday, so a sketch from 2013 for inspiration this time. 

I stamped the girl, then the raindrops, can you spot my deliberate mistake? The raindrops are upside down, duh! I then die cut it, with a larger size to layer. Next I went looking for umbrellas in my files, and found these fab papers, so perfect for what I wanted and forgotten about.  

The girl was coloured with DI's and I simply watercoloured a background to match the papers, which were cut to fit the 6x6 base card. I then stamped the sentiment. They were all layered and placed to match the sketch, but I also wanted a couple of umbrellas on the paper to show, and the "singing in the rain" showing too.  

I think I may go to a couple more sketches, perhaps I'll get some mojo back. I really enjoyed making this card, even though a couple of things could have been better.

Spring weather we had last week, lots of hail, the photo was taken after it had melted a bit, the reflection as it was taken inside.

Your garden is looking lovely and neat Faith. Shame about that hail though . . . no wonder you stayed indoors to take the pic! Brrrr!

Your card has a lovely layout and a sweet image, if you hadn't mentioned the raindrops' orientation, no-one would have noticed! xxx
