This week I am sharing a card that I made for Lynell a couple of years ago. I have always loved how it turned out, so I hope you don't mind seeing it again, it is perfect for this challenge.
LJ905, LJ908, LG738 |
- Use a light box or die cut machine to emboss the Umbrella bkg (LJ908) stencil on white cardstock
- Leave the stencil in place over the embossed image and use 1/4" stencil brushes to add various colors to the umbrellas (tape the stencil in place with removable tape)
- Clean off the Umbrella stencil and place back over the colored umbrellas, taping it down
- Tape the Rain stencil (LJ905) over the umbrellas
- Use a Palette Knife and Paste Spreader to apply a coat of Translucent Embossing Paste over the Rain stencil
- Remove and clean stencil, let paste dry
- Tape off the word you want from the Rain words stencil (LG738) and use a 1/4" stencil brush to stencil the words on white cardstock
- Remove the stencil and add a little of the same color around the edge of the words
- Mount onto coordinating cardstocks
- Finish the whole thing off with some fun ribbon flowers.
Dream It Up!

Beautiful card!! Love those brightly colored umbrellas with the rain drops. Looks like I'll have to get the rain stencil... looks so versatile and fun.
You and Lea both managed to make your rainy day cards seem happy! Love the translucent rain over the umbrellas, and the cute trim/border at the bottom.
Louise, I love this card! The colors are cheery and it makes me want to play in the rain! We're supposed to get some this afternoon here in my neck of the woods so I might just splash in a few puddles with my inner child! Would love to know what you colored the umbrellas with. So adorable!
Lea, I used my favorite ink, Brilliance, in Coral, Lime and Orange. Thanks asking, I should have put that in there!
Definitely do not mind that you re-posted this card! Its is gorgeous and I love all the colors.
This is so pretty, Louise! I am so glad you decided to share it with us, as I had not seen it the first time you posted it. It's so cheery! Beautiful job.
luv the bright umbrellas and the raindrops on them. the flowers are cute too.
