Rain, rain go away. Come again another day. 🙂
It is raining, raining, raining here at my house. My perennial gardens are loving it, but I have a bunch of errands to run and I just might melt. Because I’m so very sweet, right! Hahaaaahaaaa!
All is not lost, the rain inspired this baby shower card today.
Before I start the tutorial I need to announce the winner of the Stampin’ Up! “C” is for stamp set that I put up for blog candy last Thursday. And the winner is. . . . . .. . . . .

On a 3.75″ square piece of Whisper White card stock, stamped the leaf and baby carriage by first loading my stamp with Versamark and then with Always Artichoke ink before stamping. Heat embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Added Always Artichoke marker to the leaf and carriage.
Added Certainly Celery marker to the leaf and carriage.
Added Old Olive marker to the leaf and carriage.
Colored the bug with Summer Sun, Certainly Celery and Real Red markers. Colored the wheels of the baby carriage using Always Artichoke marker.
Added Chocolate Chip marker to the leaf veins and bottom of the carriage.
Heat set the markers using my heat gun.
Colored over the leaf and the carriage using a Versamark marker, staying within the embossed design. Heat embossed the images again using clear embossing powder and a heat gun. Now the images are completely covered with embossing.
Brayered Tempting Turquoise ink at the top of the card stock.
Brayered Brilliant Blue ink at the top of the card stock,not covering the Tempting Turquoise ink entirely.
Brayered Certainly Celery ink at the bottom of the card stock.
Brayered Always Artichoke at the bottom of the card stock, not covering the Certainly Celery ink entirely.
Using a ruler as a guide, made random dashes in the sky area to indicate rain using a white gel pen.
Sponged Brilliant Blue ink on the egdes of the card stock.
Added a drop shape at the tip of one of the leaf points using a White Gel Pen.
Added a straight line under the leaf and carriage using an Old Olive marker to suggest a shadow.
Added Brilliant Blue, Certainly Celery and Tempting Turquoise layers. Also added Certainly Celery photo corner punches, Tempting Turquoise brads and ribbon.
Here is the finished card measuring 5.5″ square.
Wishing you a lovely day.
Until my next post. . . . . . ..
Hugs,
Michelle
