Thanks to a soggy day here I've managed to make a card for
Rainbow Lady's challenge in good time this week. It's her 100th challenge already and this time the subject is 'April Showers'. I've used this House Mouse stamp which I've had for a while but not had the occasion to use - until now. It's been stamped with Versafine, clear embossed and then coloured with water colour pencils. The rain was then highlighted with a clear stardust pen.
The sentiment is a Hobby Art clear stamp and the bp is a piece of Funky Fairies (freebie) paper - overstamped with some echinacea flowers head stamps by Crafty Individuals. The strip to the left of the sentiment was a piece of glimmer misted card that's been hanging about - put through the Cuttlebug.
Thanks very much for visiting.

Hi Beryl, Wonderful card and perfect saying to go with it! A great tribute to the 100th challenge from the Rainbow Lady. Makes me want to pull out some of my lonely House Mouse stamps. I am still recovering from 2 1/2 weeks of coughing, blowing, sneezing and ear problems. But it looks like I will live a little longer. LOL!
Love, Martha
