Today I am showcasing the new "
Dancing in the Rain" stamp set by
Blue Knight Rubber Stamps. This little gal looks like she is having a great time splashing in the puddles. The minute I saw this stamp - paper piecing and primary colors came to my mind so that is what I went with. As you can see, I paper pieced the little girl's jacket using red polka dot paper. If you haven't ever paper pieced, it is fun and looks cute. Just stamp your image on patterned paper and and cut out the part you want to use, add adhesive and apply to your image. I punched a yellow heart to add to the umbrella. The image was colored with copics. I added glaze to the raindrops, but it does not show up in the picture.
My second card was colored with copics. No paper piecing on this one.
LOVE this adorable card and the paper piecing just adds such personality. I especially like that the design shows her boot reflected in the puddle!

That was a lot of card awesomeness spread over five days, Shirley! I've enjoyed going back to day one and seeing them all. As for this guy, he IS looking mighty satisfied up there in the pretty tree and clouds you colored for him!! Hugs, Darnell
