Rainy Theme at Lily Pad Cards

It may be a sunny day where you are, but we're singing (or at least stamping) in the rain at the Lily Pad!

 I love a spring shower or even a thunderstorm every now and then, and so do these cute Lawn Fawn Critters in the Burbs. I live in the burbs, and you can find each of these critters hanging out in my backyard. Only the dog, standing in for Digby, lives here; the other two are frequent visitors.

I made my own spray mist mixing some Stormy Sky Distress ink refill with water in a mini mister. I gave the top portion of the card a light misting. The critters and tree were colored with Copics, cut out and then the squirrel, dog and tree were added using foam adhesive to pop them up and give a bit of dimension.


I hope you will join us for this month long challenge sponsored by Simon Says Stamp. Visit the Lily Pad Cards blog for more details and to see some fabulous inspiration.
