Rain or Shine With You!

Hello Everyone!

Michelle from the Design Team here and today’s inspiration uses the Rain or Shine Mice stamp set from the NEW release. We have two friends in their adorable raincoats and boots splashing through the rain under a beautiful rainbow!

Here are the supplies used:

• Rain or Shine Mice 
• Trees - Happy Trails
• Rainbow - Simple Circle Dies
• Flowers - Ewe Are The Best

To make the card, I did my usual first step of stamping the images on white cardstock, coloured them with alcohol markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

For the main base pieces of the sky and ground, I ink blended a cloud background using a cloud stencil, soft blue ink and splatters. I then die cut a panel of white cardstock with a grass die, ink blended with 2 shades of green ink (a light and dark) and then splattered with the darker green ink.

To create the rainbow, I used the Simple Circles dies and white cardstock. The cut circles were blended with pink, yellow, green and blue ink before being glued together liquid glue and given a light splattering of white ink. Once the layered circles were dry, it was cut into half and I saved the other part for another project. Whilst this may take a bit more effort, it gives you flexibility to make a rainbow however big or small you need.

I curved the stamps of the sentiment and stamped directly onto the top of the rainbow using black ink. Next, all the coloured images were then arranged and adhered with liquid glue to create the cute scene in the woods where one little mouse is stopping in a puddle with glee and the other standing by with an umbrella.

Finishing touches of glitter glue was added to the clouds, the rain drops, the puddle and the flowers to give them the extra sparkle!

The sentiment says it’s best, “Rain or Shine, life is better with you”. 

Happy Crafting,

Michelle
