Rain, Rain

Good morning. I hope you had a nice weekend. It's going to be a busy week around here. I haven't had my car for the past two weeks so I've been putting off errands and it is catch up time now.

I am double dipping on challenges today as this card is for The Cat's Pajamas Tuesday Color Challenge (TCPTUES158) and also follows the May Sketch for You to Try. I used this same TCP Wet Puddle stamp for the last TCP challenge but it just seemed so perfect for the color combination required. I stamped it onto Copics X-Press It blending card, colored with Copics and then cut out. I thought she needed an umbrella this time around so I performed some PSE magic on a Tiddly Inks digital image and then printed it out onto patterned paper. I attached both pieces to the embossed background piece, placing pop dots underneath the umbrella. I did add a bit of extra color with the yellow and white ribbon. As far as the sketch goes, I did some minor adjustments to it, allowing the umbrella to replace the small circle. I combined papers from the new My Mind's Eye Lime Twist 6x6 pads and some older paper from my stash.
