Cloudy, grey days are really rare here in Central Texas, so I enjoy them whenever we get ’em! I actually made this card yesterday (when it was sunny, as usual) but didn’t get to take a picture. Woke up this morning and it was all cloudy and I thought “oh darn”. But then I thought “oh no, this is perfect!”
I so wish I had an umbrella like this. WITH the birdie.
This was a super easy card to make — all I did was trim the paper, adhere it to a notecard, add glitter glue along the edge and an orange gem to the dress. Simple.
Here’s the inside — I stamped the message with grey chalk ink to go with the grey on the front — thought it was classier than black! And, that’s some new orange masking tape that I snapped up a while back. It’s from a little shop called Ginko Papers — they carry all kinds of neato paper goods from Japan. Yum. The owner is super nice, too!
Oh and! If you are in Austin and you’re reading this, start doing your rain dance!
Supplies: Clear Design Sky’s the Limit, orange gem (on the dress), and Tall White Notecard by Hero Arts. Grey chalk ink. Masking tape from Ginko Papers — I actually got the orange, pink, blue and yellow because I couldn’t decide. Now I want the lime too! Patterned paper by Autumn Leaves. White Lace glitter glue by Ranger.
snother work of art!
Just fabulous!!! Love the glitter, and that patterned paper is gorgeous. A always love your finishing touches Lisa.
It’s been raining all day here… :( I wish cloudy days were a little less frequent over here…
You can send the rain my way Lucy! We really really need it! :)
So so cute Lisa! Really like that stamp image! Where did you get that? The details are stunning!! Great job girl!
Hugs!
Hi Yaneri! The only stamp is on the inside of the card — it’s from Hero Arts’ Sky’s the Limit clear set. The front of the card is patterned paper — YUMMY patterned paper! :)
I wish we had some clouds here- it’s already 100+ degrees here- I’m so not ready for the summer yet!
Love that paper- gonna have to get some of it!
Hey Lysa, I know what you mean about 100+ — it was 92 here yesterday, ugh! So not ready…
You are right, Lisa!! This is perfect!! Love your card, it is fabulous as always!!
Oh how adorably cute!!! I LOVE this card of yours!!!
What a special card. Great design. Love the sentiment inside.
This is awesome! And before I read the description, I seriously thought you made it (I’d believe it!), and was incredulous about the rain! :) You’ve got such a great eye.
Love – love – love the card! Simple and sweet!
