MAKE A SPLASH (3)

I created this rainy day themed birthday card, using the Beary Rainy Day stamp set from Lawn Fawn.

For the background, I used watercolor cardstock. I ink blended with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. I then added raindrops to the background with the same ink color, using the Rainy Sky Stencil.

I added a Grassy Border to the bottom, which was die cut from Cilantro cardstock and ink blending the edges with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink.

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers:

Bears: E53 - E55 - E57/ E00 - E11

Clothes: YR00 - YR02/ YR30 - YR31/ R32 - R35

Umbrellas: C0 - C3/ YR00 - YR02/ YR30 - YR31/ R32 - R35

Puddles: B41 - B45

Frogs: YG00 - YG03

I die cut the images and assembled the card. I stamped the sentiment and used a white gel pen for the highlights on the images.

Today is the start of a fun new challenge at the Lawn Fawnatics Blog It's such a cool theme: Bingo Card. You choose a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line on the bingo card below, and create a project with these themes.
