This is my card for today's Tickle a Teapotter MMTPT322 challenge - MMTPT322 ~ Where's the Rain? ~ {09/30/2014} by Cook22 at Splitcoaststampers
I have two ark stamps, so it was a toss-up which to use. I went for this one, being short of time (it's easier to colour!!). I stamped it on watercolour paper and used distress inks to colour it. Then I sponged the sea in, and some clouds which don't show very well.
For the background I used some old Sizzix paper with a bit of a rainy feel to it, and added some Dew Drops.
Oops - I totally forgot about the wet technique for extra cookies. Let's just say that it has been a VERY disrupted couple of weeks here and I wasn't sure I'd get a card made at all, I'm just happy that I did.

I was sitting here thinking about how effectively you used the dew drops when suddenly, a dolphin jumped into the scene. Wonderful use of an unexpected little element.

Sabrina, you amaze all of us with all you accomplish in each and every week!! This card is no exception!!
Love the "rainy look" DP for your BG, and the sponging - both of the rough ocean and the storm clouds building - sure hasn't seemed to upset the animals on the way to make some teapotter smile big!! I'd say the ocean is MORE THAN ENOUGH water to get you some extra cookies!! Well done!!

Sabrina, what a fun card. I love the way you colored your stamped image and I think the sky and water turned out great. Love the little dew drops and what a darling surprise to have a happy little dolphin to guide the Ark. Sweet card, made me smile. Love it.

Very cute animals on your ark! That dolphin was the perfect touch. It looks like all the animals are watching it. Like your coloring and the bkgrd paper looks terrific. I thought it was stamped. Nice card!

Awesome card!! I can see the dove has got it cased...He's not only on the look out for land, but those two pesky stowaway misquotes... they are on the loose, and Noah dosen't want them to reach land....well..we all know what happens...Ouch!! lol
