Our challenge over at Daring Cardmakers this week has been set by Svenja who would like us to focus on the weather.
I’ve gone for an ink blended panel directly on my card base (edges masked off with low tack tape first), splattered with some water and dotted over with Glossy Accents for raindrops. I thought a sunny coloured flower would help to emphasise the thought behind the words. The die cuts are watercolour paper so I could add fairly loose colouring to them.
The stamp set that includes this sentiment is in my box of things that I’m considering letting go but I’m now thinking I might need to rescue it just for the sentiment which I think is lovely.

Amazing!!! Your card is so beautiful and I like that saying a lot.
That is a great sentiment and at this time appropriate... and I like the font a lot. Maybe just keep that and let go of the rest of set?
It is that time of year when we start to look for the crocus and hellebores etc...the tiny hints that sun and warmth is coming.
Pretty color combo of the yellows and the blues :)

Wonderful card and I love the sentiment ...
lovely card - love the die cut colouring
Love those raindrops and that sentiment (from one of my favourite stamp companies)! It goes so beautifully with these wildflower stems, I might have to pull it out again!
