Challenge 37 - It's Raining, Its Pouring...!
Morning Crafters - wow such a lot of you joined in last week and shared some fabulous Snow People with us - so a huge thanks to all of you for that!!
This week's challenge is called 'Its Raining, Its Pouring...! We have had such wet weather lately we thought it would be very appropriate! We want to see your 'Rain' cards!
There are a few examples below from the Design Team and we look forward to seeing what you all come up with!

Card
I stamped Maggie and coloured her with Pro Markers. I embossed some card stock and sanded down the embossed areas to give the circles a distressed look. I stitched around the edge of the card and added a decorative ribbon and brad.
Card
I made a background of rainbow paper, then embossed some white card with a dotty Cuttlebug embossing folder because I thought it looked a bit like rain. I covered a slide mount with a rainbow paper and stamped some acetate with black Stazon. The raindrops are acrylic stickers. A length of white ribbon with a tag was used to finish it off.
Card
I stamped Maggie and water coloured her with Marvy Le Plumes. I matted and layered her onto Funky Fairies Doodlementals papers, added a message, some Primas and glitter glued the raindrops to give a sparkle.
Card
I inherited this cute little image in an image swap so I don't know who it is from - maybe someone could tell me? I coloured my image with Copics and layered her onto some DCWV patterned paper. I decorated the edge of the card using a Martha Stewart border punch and embellished with a fabric flower and yellow pearls.

CARD
For my card I stamped my Snowman and coloured him with Pro Markers. I matted the image onto gold mirri card and placed this onto embossed card. I added a ribbon, sentiment and decorative corners.
CARD
I stamped Linda Luckin's scenery stamp in dark walnut Marvey heritage ink. Then on some Acetate I stamped Linda' snowman in black Stazon - he was then coloured in with dazzling diamond glitter and turquoise glitter. I then stamped the snowman onto the card with the brown ink pad and cut and stuck the glittered snowman. Dazzling diamonds were then added as snow to the background.
CARD
I covered a six inch square card with co-ordinating papers. I stamped the snow lady in black and water coloured it, then applied clear gloss over the top. I cut around the image and mounted onto silver card, attached three faux brads and placed on the base card. I die cut a swirl in silver, highlighted it in blue and attached this to the card as a finishing touch.
CARD
I stamped my Snuggle Up Snowman stamp by Lindsay Mason twice, water coloured them and cut them out. I embossed some white card with a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the snow and used some star paper for the sky, mounting the snowmen to the card with 3D foam pads. Finally I stamped a message and mounted the whole thing on some blue foiled paper and added glitter glue for that sparkly look.
CARD
For my card I have added some Anita's Classic Christmas paper to a six inch square card. I cut two circles out in red and white card and embossed the white card with the Cuttlebug Snowflake embossing folder. I thread some red satin ribbon through the circles and around the back of the layers, tying in a bow at the side. My stamped image is one from High Hopes and I have coloured him with water colours mounting with 3D foam pads. Embellished with some brads and a gold peel-off snowflake.

I started this card by stamping the coffee background onto cream card then punched the edge with a stampin' up punch. The I stamped various coffee images onto cream card and vellum. The slide mount was coloured silver with a krylon pen. some brown paper was then embossed with a cuttlebug folder and was used in the background. Some silver metal embellisments were used threaded with brown spotted ribbon. Finally a silver heat embossed spoon was added.

ATCUsing a template, I cut out the cup shape in shades of browns & creams, for the froth I used mulberry paper which I feathered at the edge. I assembled the layers, then attached to a brown base.

CardI stamped a Linda Luckin Calendula image in Vintage Sepia Versafine, and inked the edges with Walnut Distress Ink. I matted the image onto some plain and patterned HOTP papers, and inked the edge of a cream cream card also with Walnut. I stamped a greeting and added 2 eyelets to finish.

Card
I have had this lovely free image from the *Lisa Vollrath Two Ten *site for some time now - so I decided to have a play with it. The lace background piece has been made using the *Stampin Up 'Antique lace'* background stamp. I stamped it using ink in a coffee colour and I also added Peanut Butter and Guilded Ivory embossing powders in places for depth and t exture. Embellished with a paper flower, a length of ribbon and a buckle I had lying around.
