Hey friends!! Got a chance to make a quick card today for a couple of challenges. The new layout from Freshly Made Sketches is such a fun one. So many different shapes that you can use for the three main elements on the card. The fun card that FMS design team member Jen T. made inspired me to create my card along a similar line. I pulled out a Simon Says Stamp mini set called Bring the Sunshine and the matching sun die to create my little sun. The clouds were die cut using stitched cloud dies from A Jillian Vance Design and then inked up with some PTI Spring Rain ink. The panel was die cut using the largest die from my workhorse A Jillian Vance Design Rectangle Polka Dot backdrop dies. I then cut the panel in to two pieces and then trimmed an additional 1/4" of cardstock from the larger panel. The larger portion was partially embossed using a Sizzix Swiss Dot embossing folder to give it the look of rain. The sun was die cut and then stamped using SU!'s So Saffron ink. The panels were adhered to a So Saffron card base and then the clouds and sun were attached. I finished off the card by adding a few clear sequins from the sequin mix that came with the March SSS card kit. The challenge this week at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge is "come rain or shine" so that is the other challenge I am entering. I think it took me about 20 minutes to make this card... for me that is pretty darn fast. Since I used some Simon Says Stamp products on the card I also entered it into the current Simon Says Stamp flickr challenge of anything goes. This also works for the current CASology challenge of weather so I will be posting it there, too. 
Thanks for stopping by today...
