Pile It On: Summer Showers
This week's PIO challenge is Summer Showers. Interpret it anyway you'd like :)
This week's sponsor is Simon Says Stamp!
Simon Says Stamps has a huge selection of rubber Stamps, scrapbooking and paper crafting supplies. Also visit the Simon Says Stamp blog and they're now on Paper Crafts Planet HERE.
The winners of these week's challenge will receive $20 of products from their store!!! How great is that?!?! You just gotta play along!
Now for my take on the Summer Showers challenge...
The image is from MelJen Designs; it was a freebie :) I colored it with copics and added glossy accents (which you can't really tell by the pictures). The clouds were cut with my Cricut and distressed. The raindrop hearts were colored with spicas.
This card qualifies for the following challenges;
- Pile It On - summer showers
- Play Date Cafe - color challenge
- Taylored Expressions - sketch
- Tuesday Throwdown - nautical or water theme (I took liberties with tis one - rain is water right? :))
- ABC Challenge - W is for weather
- Penny's Challenge Blog - Photo inspiration
- MelJen's Designs - sparkle, glitter, bling (the little hearts are colored with spica pens - ok, there's only a little bling...)
- Simply Saturday - sponging (the clouds)
- Sentimental Sundays: summertime and a sentiment
That's all from here! Thanks so much for stopping by!
