You know you have a good stamp set when you can use the heart as rain drops! The had drawn look of the Weather Together set makes it sweet and perfect.
Weather Together Stamp Set
The packages alone are just perfect! Then you have umbrellas and clouds. Not to mention the font of the lettering. And to top it off you get rain drops, hearts, and flowers….that are just adorably drawn!!!!
Now, I love music. And there is one thing I think of when I hear the frase… shelter from the storm…Bob Dylan….and when a stamp set brings the music to my heart…that’s a good day…
A few things about this card
The unbrella tops are made using one of my favorite technique’s of late. The fool proof watercolor technique.
The background is stamped on crumb cake and colored with colored pencils…first blue then white..
The twine is from the Cupcakes and Carousel Embelishmen Kit
The flowers was stamped on a spare section of the yellow umbrella.

One last thing for you today. Let’s all be someone’s shelter from the storm…
Sunday was beautiful in Decatur. The sun was out and the temperature was just about perfect! The other and I decided to take the afternoon and ride in the country. It was so nice to just feel the warmth of the sun on our faces. We travled a the old curvy roads…on several occasions just deciding to turn not knowing where the road leads. Days like this are good for the soul. It rejuvenates or creative nature… When I have a creative block …the world in nature always brings back that desire to make. I recently watched a show on Netflix called Inn Saei the power of intuition. It totally hit home is some way…that by all we are bombarded with has caused us to loose our concetion with nature or others or ourselves…it is a amazing wonder world we live in with all the awesome technology. But, sometimes we need to unplug and recharge our souls to be creative humans. Sunday was that…nothing but our voices, the sun, and the sound of the wind….ttime to think and reflect and just be. How offten do we take time to just be…
Over at Global Design Project they are having a amazingly fun challenge this week. Winged things!!! #gdp075. The design team has created some fabulous examples for us.
The fool proof watercolor technique is so much fun! I choose three colors and used them for three cards. Mint Macaroni, Pool Party, and So Saffron. This is one of my favorite color combinations. The neutral color added is Tip Top Taupe.
Fool Proof Watercolor Technique
Chooes two or three colors to use together
Choose one neutral ink color
On watercolor paper use a baby whipe and dab on color
Using the same colors add texture using stamps. As you stamp also dab the stamped area with a baby whipe
Add in your neutral color with a baby whipe and stamps
Finish the card with layers… #layersmakeseverycardbetter
