A Little Rain Must Fall.....

Welcome OCS fans;

Another week has gone by and there is no doubt that there has been a little or a lot or rain falling in my little world of late.  Last week it was the garage door that needed repairing as the cable snapped, and this week it is a plumbing issue.  What's next -- don't know that I want to know.

While anyway for today's card I have used the adorable Mary Angel from High Hopes Stamps.  Splashing in the puddles is such fun at times.  I  remember the children doing this when they were younger. I used the Echo Park Raindrops Stencil and the B0000 - Pale Celestine Copic Marker to create the raindrops.  A clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle Glitter Pen was then used to add a bit of glitter to the raindrops.

Supplies used:

• Stamps:  Mary Angel and A Little Rain Must Fall (High Hopes Stamps)
• Ink:  Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black
• Paper:  XPress It Blending Cardstock, DP - Rainbow, Watercolor (Lawn Fawn)
• Copic Markers:  Skin: E0000 - Floral White, E000 - Pale Fruit Pink, E00 - Skin White, R20 - Blush, Hair: E53 - Raw Silk, E51 - Milky White, E50 - Egg Shell; Coat:  G02 - Spectrum Green, G000 - Pale Green, G00 - Jade Green; Pants: V20 - Wisteria, V22 - Ash Lavender; Umbrella & Boots: Y38 - Honey, Y35 - Maize, Y32 - Cashmere, E37 - Sepia, E39 - Leather; Wings:  BG01 - Aqua Blue, BG000 - Pale Aqua, BG0000 - Snow Green; Puddle: B00 - Frost Blue, B000 - Pale Porcelain Blue, B0000 - Pale Celestine

Springtime Joy

I hope you are enjoying our Anything Goes month here at OCS. It has been fun to see all of the different stamps High Hopes has to offer! 

My post today features "Mary Angel" and the "Springtime Joy" sentiment. 

I don't know about you but when I was a kid one of the best parts of Spring was the puddles! There was nothing better then grabbing your favourite pair of rubber boots  - or not - and going out and playing in the puddles. 

After colouring my stamp with alcohol markers I cut it out using a stitching mark and piercing marks die. I also cut out a doily die to place behind it to add a little "frill". 
I cut and double matted my patterned paper from Doodlebug and added some matching cardstock after running it through a cloud embossing folder.

Some Stickles were added to Mary's wings and I added some matching pink polka dot so to the umbrella with a marker. 

I had a fun Spring themed die set I used to cut out my rubber boot and umbrella. Some matching twine and some sparkly gumdrops finish off my card.
