This is for four challenges: Free for All – Weather; Color Challenge - Green Pool Mist; Sketch Challenge, Alphabet Challenge – Letter U. The weather challenge reminded me of Lydia’s Hope You Can Cling To Challenge to represent your least favorite weather (mine was wind). This time, I used my favorite weather – rain! The funny thing is when I started making my card; the second storm of our 2016 Monsoon hit hard and brought us lots of much needed rain. I stopped stamping to watch the downpour! Back to my card, I used the Saving Cream technique with Marina Mist and Pool Party for the background. I had fun coloring this Rainy Days girl & her friends. I used Wink of Stella on the raindrops and rhinestone to highlight the word “rain”. The sketch challenge provided the design and the Color Challenge gave me the colors. I just had to use a little yellow and orange for “realism”, as ducks are not blue or green. Smile. This works for Letter U of the Alphabet Challenge – under the umbrella. Thanks for looking!

Who'd have thought shaving cream could be so useful and pretty! I love the colors you used for it. I need to make a few backgrounds with shaving cream again. I bought a small can of it a couple of weeks ago but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I have never tried the shaving cream technique, but it looks lovely on your card. Gives a great "puddly" look for your theme. Those are cute images! I love the little ducky!

I love your shaving cream background. I've got to do that one again. I love that adorable image. Love how you coloured it to match the rest of the card. The little frog and duck circles are so cute.

Very cute stamp set. Great coloring. I was going to say I really like that designer paper background and then realized you had made it with the shaving cream technique, wow, awesomely done and it works great with this set. Love the colors and circles as well.
