Mornin' y'all! Guess what? It RAINED yesterday! And we have a chance of rain several days this week! Guess all my rainy day crafting has finally manifested actual precipitation, ha! And I have another rainy card to share today:
I just had to have another go at some of last week's challenges, and Playing in the Rain and Rain or Shine were still out on my crafting table. I decided to get out the sweet bunny this time for the Sunday Stamps challenge:
I just had to have another go at some of last week's challenges, and Playing in the Rain and Rain or Shine were still out on my crafting table. I decided to get out the sweet bunny this time for the Sunday Stamps challenge:
I skipped the lighter pink and then used Flirty Flamingo, Pineapple Punch, Cloud Cover, and Shy Shamrock for my colors. That rainy background from the Rain or Shine Specialty DSP is I think a mix of Balmy Blue and Smoky Slate, but it turns out it coordinates really well with Cloud Cover. I gave the bunny a bright yellow rain slicker because I've always wanted a bright yellow rain slicker and I've never had one.
Once again we have the Retro Rubber Challenge:
I think I nailed the rain theme better on this one than with my fox card. Once again, Playing in the Rain is 3 years old and Rain or Shine is 13 years old, nice and retro for both.
Inkspirational wants to see rainy cards too:
And I used the same Freshly Made Sketch as the fox card:
This time I did die cut a circle to go behind my little bunny, I think I like it better than the fox card for that. And then, since I had the Rain or Shine DSP out anyway, I made one more card:
I had never fussy cut these little pals out of the DSP before so it was past time they got on a card of their own, especially after Ann made such a cute card with this paper for a Paper Players challenge. Everything on here is cut from the DSP, the only stamping is the greeting. I have been on a tear with paper tearing lately, I seem to want to do that on a lot of cards, but it's a quick and easy way to add extra interest.
That's it for me, peeps. I've got to get Ryan off to school, finish my brekkie (English breakfast tea and an orange strawberry scone) and then I'm off to have my head examined : ) I'm having an MRI to investigate why I've been having more headaches than usual lately. Hubs says I've been needing my head examined for years since I live with him and Ryan, but I loves them anyway. Hope you have a great day, rainy or not!

Such beautiful work, I just love it all, we had rain yesterday and these little guys are so cheery!
I love it!! Such a cute rainy day card!! Thanks for joining the fun and playing along with our color challenge over at Sunday Stamps. Your rain or shine card was a great way to showcase our Pastel Portraits color palette. Deb Horst, DT #SSC384
So fun, Christy! I love all these cards, but the one for us at Sunday Stamps is such a great choice of colors, lol. Clearly, your cards are doing the rain dance for your area! Thanks so much for playing at Sunday Stamps!
What a fun card to celebrate much anticipated rain! I love that little bunny and the awesome patterned paper! Thanks for linking up to FMS this week!
Okay, Christy! You've made it rain - in fact, my sump-pump needs a break, and I could sure use some sun, thanks! LOL
I love all of the characters you've used for these rain-dance cards! Especially that cute little bunny in his cute yellow slicker!
Thanks for playing!

Another cutie for sure! So glad the sketch was an inspiration for you.
Both cards are super cute! I love that rainy day card! Love that sweet little bunny in his rain coat! We could use some rain here but I'm afraid it would probably land as snow so I think I'll just pray we don't get anything!!
Such cute rainy day cards; thank you for joining us at INk~
Wonderful critters on both of your 'rain' designs, Christy! We're having rain today - but we apparently need it even though we had tons of snow this winter - so I'll take it - everything is beautifully green from it too! Love your rainy DP on both and all the umbrellas! Thanks for sharing with us at Inkspirational: Rain! Julia xx
Another winner, very sweet little bunny playing along in the rain! Thank you for joining us at Retro Rubber.
I can't believe it is possible, but I think I love this happy bunny even more than the fox! Fabulous, thanks for joining us for a second time at Retro Rubber for this theme. Claire RR DT
