Paper Cuts

How cute is that sentiment?  Here are a couple samples of one of My Favorite Things three new releases this month, “Rain or Shine.”  I think this set is adorable! 

There are quite a few sentiments…”I’m here for you,” “Rain or shine,” “Get well soon,” “Feeling under the weather?” and “Friends brighten your day” (along with the one I used here).  There is a dotted umbrella, a cloud, rain drops and boots.  SO cute!!

For this card, I paper-pieced the rain coat and stamped the boots onto orange cardstock, coloring in the dots with a white gel pen.

.

This one was totally inspired by the ribbon.  I’ve had it forever and finally decided to use it…plus I thought all the dots would be perfect.

I stamped the umbrella in Versamagic Sea Breeze (Dew Drop), then traced the outline and colored the dots with a Chocolate marker.  The boots were stamped in Chocolate ink, then I used a Q-tip to color them with the Sea Breeze ink and colored in the dots again with a Chocolate marker.  The boots are popped up on dimensionals and I can now see that the way the shadow is falling on the card, I should have outlined the other side of the umbrella.  (I’m super-picky…but not picky enough to retake the photo or restamp the card.)

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
