Boy we have had some crazy weather the last couple of days. My card today depicts what I looked like outside trying to clean pools. Only I wasn't this cute and I didn't have a snorkel. hehe Plus I had way more clothes on!........the card.....
It was down right windy with blowing rain. I finally gave up and came home and made this card. I stamped the cute snorkeling ducky on w/c paper, clear ep, then colored with re-inkers. Did a wash around him. Layered with black cs set aside.
Made my three panels. Top one has the rain and storm clouds, middle just rain and bottom one a puddle after all it is raining. Layered these with black cs, set aside.
Made the bg dp by stamping the rain drops from Anna Wight Hello Neighbor set from Whipper Snapper. Colored with copics and sponged the edges then layered with black cs.
On a white card, drew the circles and colored them with a copic marker. Flipped the sketch, put the bg on after adding the ribbon. Then put the three panels popping up the main image panel. Added three air bubbles that I put punched circles on cork then on the card.
I'm off to have some hot chocolate. Not only was it a wet day, but it was really cold! Hope you like my storm card.......TFL :0)
Hi Sis!

Love how you managed to get your wind/rain storm somehow on your card. plus, I'm lovin' that duck. I kept looking at this sweet image, but I knew I could never color the way you did. Fabulous card dahling.

You are so funny! Love your scuba duck and think it wise that you gave up and went home. We are unseasonably warm in Seattle but very windy, too! I'm so okay with that since it's better than snow! Great card, MutNut!
