Rain drops....


Good morning everyone.  Of course we are all hoping for sunshine this Mother's Day weekend, here in Canada, but of course Mother Nature doesn't make promises.  This is another fun image from Dr Digi's House of Stamps...Rainy Raymond, somewhat appropriate for the spring season.  

He's coloured with markers and cut out using the 'out of the box technique', a favourite of mine.  The sentiment is from the Verve Stamps Blue Skies collection.  The papers are from MME, and the only added extra is the strip of washi tape.  I think this makes for a nice encouragement card...something without flowers....for a man.

Have a great weekend everyone, and remember, we now have a fortnightly challenge on our FB page.  A chance to win, plus something to do if it does rain!
