The challenge for this week's Teapot Tuesday is to bring rain gear. This little bunny from Crafty Sentiments has a nice umbrella, but I guess he could use some rain boots.
The image is colored in pencils, and the umbrella is paper-pieced with a houndstooth pattern that goes with the clouds and rain dp behind the main panel. The puddle is covered in paper glaze to give it a wet look (Ways to use it 492). There's a little doodling around the edges in white gel pen, and the crinkled seam binding bow is accented with some glass beads.

How sweet! He does look as if he's feeling wet feet or something!! The soft colours, picked up from the weather-themed paper are lovely, so is the bow with beads.

I love the paper piecing of the umbrella. I think that adds so much to every card!! Love the things you added..the glaze to the puddle, beads to the bow!

I love your little stamped image and the way you did the water. The paper piecing is so well done. Maybe you could find this little rabbit some rain boots. Really a sweet card

Oh, he doesn't look very happy, does he? but he's so cute anyway! Really like the layout and doodles, too!
