Pile It On: Summer Showers

Sorry folks, I'm a bit late with this one. Loads to do this past week and out all day yesterday didn't leave much time for card making :( 

This week's PIO challenge is Summer Showers. Interpret it anyway you'd like :) 
This week's sponsor is Simon Says Stamp!



Photobucket

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;









That's all from here! Thanks so much for stopping by!

TTFN,
