Rain or Shine for {DD #40}

Hello stampers! This week at Dynamic Duos, it's time for our "Black Tie" challenge. Basic Black and Tempting Turquoise are the colors of the week and we have a "dessert option" to use CLOUDS in the design of your card. You can add this option to your project, or not. It's up to you! 

I created this quick and easy card using the umbrella image from the Rain or Shine Stamp set from the SU Spring catty. The sentiment comes from the Bootiful Occasions stamp set and fit perfectly with the theme of the card. I love the new Cloudy Day Embossing Folder! It's a quick and easy way to add a pop of texture to the background. I finished everything off with some polka dotted ribbon and (of course) some sparkly rhinestones. Easy Peasy!

Please join us this week at Dynamic Duos! The challenge closes on Thursday, February 21st at Noon (PST). The rest of the Design Team has created some fun projects with the colors this week, too. Stop by and say hello:

Rain or Shine for {PP#125}

Hello stamping friends! I'm a little late posting my card for the Paper Players, as a certain kitten had "relocated" the memory card for my DSLR camera for me. I finally found it stashed away under her kitty bed, one of the last places I looked. Sneaky, sneaky girl!

This week at the Paper Players, the lovely and talented Nance is our hostess with a fun color combo to try out.

For my card, I used a *brand new* stamp set that is coming out in January called Rain or Shine. AS soon as I saw the fun sketch over at The Sweet Stop, I knew I wanted to use it for my card. 

Look at those fun embossed clouds! Swoon! I love, love, love that new embossing folder so much. Can you say CUTENESS? The embossed trim on the bottom of the card is also a new item in the upcoming catty. I heat embossed the umbrella and the sentiment with Cherry Cobbler Embossing Powder. I colored in the polka dots on the umbrella using a Pool Party Stampin' Write Marker. Since you can never have enough sparkle, I added some Glimmer Paper and rhinestone accents for fun. all of the supplies are listed at the end of this post.

I hope you will join us over at the Paper Players this week. The challenge closes December 14th at Noon (PST). The rest of the gals on the Design Team have whipped up some cool colorful creations. Stop by and say hello!
