After getting an amazing sentiment stamp made by Stampendous, I began checking my (way too many) stamps to see what image would fit. Sometimes oldies are the best. I combined two of my favourite Stampin' Up! sets and did some free-style drawing to wind up with a card that I love. I hope you love it, too.
I love this image from the Beautiful You set. It is definitely my favourite, although I love the other images, too. In order to make the image fit the sentiment, I added a puddle at her feet and then sketched two boots to fit her feet. Since this is a very stylish girl, I had to ensure that her hat matched those boots, right? And then I sketched in a little jacket since the rain is seldom warm. All the colours I used to watercolour my image are from Stampin' Up! We have Daffodil Delight for her hat, crinoline and boots, then her jacket is a combination of Basic Black and Smoky Slate. That pretty dress is the lovely, bright Poppy Parade, the puddle and raindrops are Balmy Blue and then the sentiment is Pacific Point.
I'm not sure if you can tell from this angle that I covered the puddle with some Shimmering Crystal Effects. After all, puddles are shiny, aren't they, even in the rain. The raindrops are from the Weather Together stamp set.
For the inside, I cut a broad stitched frame from a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and then stamped the remainder of the sentiment inside. Then I went on a hunt for a boot stamp. Believe me, with all the stamps I've accumulated, I knew I had a stamp which would be perfect. And I was right. This image is from the Craft Consortium Farm Meadow. I love the style and went wild with the colours, of course adding polka dots to make them perfect.
