Rain or Shine Sending Sunshine Rainbow Card by Mendi

Hello there!  Today the team is showcasing ways to use the Rain or Shine stamp set and I have a fun Rainbow card that I created pairing sentiments from the complimentary Sunny Sentiments stamp set.

I colored my image in with Copic markers.  I used a pale B0000 to color in shade the bottom of my clouds and then popped them up with foam tape to add some interest.  I then added a little clear glossy accents over my hearts to give them some shine.  

For my sentiment I gently bent the stamp on my block to have it follow the curve of my rainbow.  Love how clear stamps can be shaped like this!  :)

Rain or Shine Let's Weather It Together Card with Melissa

Hello everyone, Melissa here! I am super excited to share a card with you today featuring the newly released stamp set Rain or Shine! This set is so much fun!

Like a lot of my cards, this is one layer so required quite a bit of masking. I first stamped the dog holding his umbrella, then masked them off and stamped the grassy border from Sunny Sentiments. Once that was done I masked off the grass area with masking paper and inked up the sky using a variety of blue inks. I then used a darker blue to stamp the raindrops. I then removed the mask from the grass and stamped the sentiment on the bottom of the card and heat embossed it using white embossing powder. 

To add the color to the grass I masked off the sky and inked it up using several green inks. Next I colored both the dog and his umbrella using distress inks. To finish the card I stuck the scene onto a scalloped card base.
