April Showers . . .

. . . and Gene Kelly? When I saw the In the Rain stamp by QKR Stampede, all sorts of possibilities came to mind, one of which was the rhyme, "April showers bring May flowers." For this card, the image was stamped and watercolored. The green mat layer was double scored on all four sides. I used my cuttlebug and the Spots and Dots embossing folder on a piece of white card stock that was cut the same size as the focal image. After embossing, the scallop circle was cut out using a circle scallop Nestability die. The embossed piece was applied using pop dots, then paper flowers and punched branches were added.

Another thought that came to mind was Gene Kelly and his dance sequence in the musical, "Singin' in the Rain." This little guy has donned his rain shell slicker and his umbrella and is walkin' down the lane . . . For this card, the image was stamped and watercolored. Crystal lacquer was added to the umbrella and the rain shell slicker for a "wet from the rain" look. The Cuttlebug and Spots and Dots embossing folder were used on the yellow mat layer. Black organdy ribbon and a yellow grosgrain ribbon were added across the middle of the card. The clouds were sponged.
