When Skies are Gray

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Sunday edition of the Blog.

The Spring Release with 20 new designs is in the online store. There is a nice combination of both religious and whimsical designs. So perfect for all card makers out there.

And there is still plenty of time to order and get them for your Easter cardmaking. Today for your viewing pleasure, I am featuring the new Spring Showers Mouse die and created a thinking of you card for my precious little granddaughter. 

I used the colors from this week's Splitcoaststampers color challenge #888. We were to use daffodil delight, calypso coral and magenta madness for our color trio.

I used all the challenge colors for the mouse raincoat and umbrella. I took advantage of the allowed neutrals for my stormy background. I found a navy designer paper in my collection and then stenciled raindrops on the paper with a clear gloss gel.

The clouds are cut from the clouds slimline die in a gray cardstock and sponged the edges with navy and gray inks for a storm cloud look. I stamped my sentiment on the clouds. 

I cut the rain puddle out of the same designer paper as my background. The puddle is from an older retired die Rainy Day Duck. But you could also use the ice pond from the Ice-Skating Kids die or any of our snowbank dies to create a puddle.  

Well, that's it for me for this post. See you next Saturday!
