LOTS OF RAIN HERE AGAIN...A CARD TO CELEBRATE THE BRIGHTER SIDE

TROPICAL STORM BILL has hit the Texas coast.  And the rains are covering most of mid and east Texas - including US!!

My good friend Tammy and I did some fun rainbow and showers cards.  I would like to share mine with you:

 She had the new Lawn Fawn Rainbow die and we made a fun glitter rainbow with it.

 This is the inside to complete the statement started on the front:  going thru both sunshine and showers bring RAINBOWS!!  What a great thought to help us get through the tough times, don't you think??!!

I used one pattern paper for the stormy cloud and the other two are whisper white cardstock on a cardboard die cut, then I used some grey Copics to color the clouds.  I used Stampin' Up! markers for the sun die cut.  I used a retired raindrop stamp and used a very light grey ink then covered the raindrops with Crystal Effects.

I added 6 mini colored pearls on the clouds for a little added dimension.

I am entering this card in the TRY STAMPIN' ON TUESDAY rain challenge.

GRADUATION CARD CASED

HEY BLOGGIES,

I have another graduation card to share with you.  This one I totally cased from my upline, Dawn Griffiths.  Thanks Dawnie!!  I did change the colors up a bit by adding our NEW Tip Top Taupe In Color starting NEXT WEEK IN THE NEW CATALOG.

 First:  So sorry for the poor lighting and the shadows it created.  We have been so rainy here in Texas that I can't get a good photo to save my life!!

 Here is the card opened up so you can see the inside.  It uses the same photopolymer set I used on my last grad card - BRAVO.

I used the brushed gold cardstock that is retiring for the star in the word YOU on the front.  I also used red and green markers to color in the LA in the word on the front.  That is because Kade's school colors are  Red and Green and I wanted to add a little bit of that for the school spirit!!

Hope you enjoyed my banner card for graduation.  Thanks again, Dawn G. for the idea.
