Boy, have we had some rainy days lately. Yesterday I was fortunate enought to be one step ahead. Not today! It poured on me at each and every pool I went to. THEN I get home to see that the pool and my house are about to be flooded. YIKES! Good thing I have a super DH who is always prepared. I hooked up the pump he has at the ready and disaster was avoided...now my card....
With all the rain, I was inspired to make a rainy day kind of card. Plus, I did some "faux" ruffles on the umbrella. Please don't send the challenge police after me!
The litte duck is from Rosie's Roadshow, the ants are G-Rated. Stamped and clear eb them both. Then proceeded to sketch the scene around. Colored them with Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencils.
The storm clouds were sponged using RR cloud stencil, and the sky sponged with bashful blue.
Layered my panel with dark green cs them put on a white card. Added a clear faux dewdrop on the umbrella top and popped up a birdie I found on my desk.
Well, the rain is done and the sun is out. Guess I'll go roll up the pump and hose..... TFL :0)
Hi Sis! Hi NC Sis!

I think it's adorable. I love your clouds and raindrops and umbrella and the ants are too cool. I could have used your raindrop idea a couple weeks ago. It's great.

Absolutely and totally sweet. Love the umbrella and those fabulous clouds. Glad to hear you avoided a major flooding disaster! We could use the rain up here. There is a burn ban ..in April no less.. which is something totally unheard of in my area.

It's been one of those wait 5 minutes and the weather will change type of days here, but I guess the central valley is getting most of the rain. I'm glad to know you averted disaster with your fast moves!
I love this card, Cathy!! I REALLY love your ruffled umbrella with the bird on top and the duck and ants below.
