This card is for the Tickle a Tea Potter challenge this week - to bring arks, rainy-day scenes, or animals two by two. My first impression was to bring Noah's ark, but there were already a few arks floating about, and I did not want to be a copycat, so I opted to make this a card with a rainy scene . I had a scrap of rain drop DP, cut the image out with nesties, after coloring and sponging, and crimped a piece of CS to back the saying on the front - inside says, "It's about learning to dance in the rain." Just used a glitter gel pen to accent the rain drops. Can't wait to send it off to a teapotter!
Thanks for looking and have a wonderful weekend!

Sue what a darling card. I love your little stamped image and the way you colored it. love your raindrop background paper and your added little raindrops. I love the saying you picked. I almost used it for the inside of my card. Love everything about your card.

Sue, this is soooo cute. I love the glittery rain and your coloring is beautiful. Great card layout for this very sweet image. Your angled bow is the perfect finishing touch. I always see cards when we send to each other and think that I hope I am the receipient of this card.

I wouldn't have minded another ark (we nearly need one here today), but Sam is a sweetie, and your sparkly rain is just so pretty. I love your ribbon use on this card too, I can never decide if grosgrain or organza is my favourite!
