This is for today's Limited Supplies Challenge 182. We were to use an old stamp that hasn't been used in a while, old DP or paper and embellies you have been hoarding.
Well, I have had this made since 8:00 this morning, but due to Fay, I have been without any internet access. It killed me!! LOL I so wanted to get this uploaded, but hey, what can you do? There is no aguring with a tropical storm!!
In light of Fay, I found this Stamp set in the back of my stamps and thought it would be perfect for today. I have not used it in almost 2 years. The paper I chose was my awesome Cool Carribean, and my embellies came from Dawn (dawnmercedes) when she sent me my first CCRAK swap.
I stamped the main image twice, colored them both with my Water Color Pencils, then cut the top of the umbrella, the girl, and the duck from the second one, and popped them up with demensionals. For my sentiment, I added a touch of my WCC's to give it some color. On my Cool Carribean, I punched out a scallop and made clouds to go with all the rain. I love how it turned out.
We are all fairing well at my house. Just lots and lots of wind and rain. We were only out off power from 1:00 am-4:30 am this morning. We are extremely lucky!! There are over 80,000 people without power here in Jacksonville and there is also much damage throughout the city. But thank the Lord it is finally passing on through.
As for my card, what do y'all think??

Lovely card....I can appreciate how you were inspired to use this set....only had about 6 inches in our part of Florida but it's not really over yet. So glad you and your family made it through okay...it can get a bit scarey at times. Now we have all the clean up to do...that should keep us busy for the rest of the weekend and then some!!
