TAWS post #83 New Release Blog Hop - Rain or Shine

Hello Alley Way friends!  So glad you're hopping with us today for our latest new release! You should have arrived here via my fellow TAW teammate Marina's blog!

Today I'm featuring a set called Rain or Shine.  It's an adorable set filled with lots of images and sentiments.  Today I started by creating a background with my Kurtake Gansai Tambi watercolors.  The background is painted in the most beautiful silver paint.  It's near impossible to catch in photos but the entire background is intensely shimmery.  It's beautiful IRL.

I then stamped the background clouds with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink and added the frontmost clouds popped up on foam dots.  I stamped them onto basic white cardstock and hand trimmed them out.  I also added the little birdies scattered around the card through the grey sky.

I added some beautiful sequins that were in an older Studio Calico kit scattered around and tucked my sentiment on the left hand side.  I took a waterproof black pen and added the ... and the . after my sentiment to ground it a little bit and not make it look as though it were dangling in the middle of space.

I matted it with black cardstock to make it pop and added it to the front of a white notecard.

Thanks so much for coming by today!  Off you go to N@Ali's blog!!
