Under the weather?


When I saw this paper in the DCWV Spring Stack, I thought that it would be ideal for a get well card. It has clouds and giant raindrops on it and is in blue & grey- sky colours!
I covered the inside of the card with a houndstooth check in blue and covered the front with the cloud image paper. I freehand cut a cloud and added the word 'under' to it and then arranged the rest of the phrase below the cloud.. I cut an umbrella in two contrasting papers and silver mirri and then cut a grey shadow. I added a strip of paper across the bottom of the card which was trimmed with wavy scissors. I added some gunmetal flat backed pearls from Papermania, and on the umbrella, although you can't see them, there are some tiny raindrops- new adhesive flat -backed glittery drops from Papermania. The umbrella was raised on foam pads. I added glitter to the top of the umbrella and to the cloud and letters. I think that this card needs a strip of ribbon on the bottom where the gems are but never mind-I'll leave it as it is!
