Raga has chosen "Rain" for our next challenge here at Addicted to CAS, and boy do I wish that could be a weather forecast here in southern Oregon as our drought continues and the wildfires burn.
I met all of my professional design deadlines at the end of last week so I have a bit of a respite for some cardmaking. This is my entry for "Rain".
I used a Strathmore watercolor card base and matching envelope for this card, first stenciling the background Tim Holtz "Dot Fade" with Memento "London Fog" dye ink. On a separate piece of white textured cardstock I stamped the small Rain or Shine image from Hot Off the Press, Inc. in black ink. I've used this image on several cards over the past 5 or so years. I die cut the stamp frame and colored and blended the sun and clouds. I heat embossed the sentiment on dark gray cardstock, cut it out, and attached it to the postage stamp die. Finally, I attached the postage stamp to the card base with dimensional foam and stuck on 3 yellow enamel dots from my stash.
I hope you all will have as much fun on your rain challenge as I did! And check out what the other designers have come up with.

Just love your beautifully designed postage stamp Fran with that gorgeous stencilled background. The curly clouds are fun and your positioning of those enamel dots is sheer perfection. Vicky x
ReplyDeleteFran, I love that stormy background you created to anchor your focal elements. As for that postage stamp - I love it - and the sentiment! Fabulous card
