My Crafty Heart - DT Card - 'Rainy Days'

Aww how I loved working with this gorgeous Mabel Lucie Attwell image called 'Rainy Days'. It takes me right back to my childhood. Some of you might also have had Story Books with her wonderful illustrations! They are part of a new range of Stamps available from My Crafty Heart! Hope you can pop on over to take a look.

As soon as I saw the image I thought of this paper. It is quite tweedy and reminds me of the 60s!! I'm sure my grandfather used to have a car with seats in a similar design to this? Am I imagining this or does anyone else remember? Anyway, this gorgeous paper is from the pad Little Black Dress by Basic Grey also available from MCH. I've used a strip of similar paper from the pad to create a border around the image and to make a border across the middle.

Colouring: Promarkers & Flexmarkers

Skin: Putty, Sunkissed Pink

Hair: Buttercup, Mustard, Champagne, Cappuccino

Clothes: Apricot, Honeycomb, Cocoa, Caramel

Ducks: Champagne, Antique White

Brolly: Warm Greys

The sentiments were made on computer. I made up the little quote - I know it's a bit twee but it seemed to fit the image!! LOL This is going to be an Anniversary Card for my parents in July and so that was the inspiration. The Mabel Lucie Attwell Stamps do come with some Sentiments and other little elements that are wonderful. With this image you get.... "You Can Share My Umbrella" and "Every Path has it's Puddles" and "You Brighten My Day" and "Thanks for Being There" - also you get an extra little ducky image and an extra puddle and some rain. So you get plenty of value for your money with these stamps!!! They do stamp beautifully and are wonderful to colour too!

I've added a Prima Rose Trim in 'Neutral' and a little Vintage Clock Charm and some Hero Arts Sunshine Mixed Accents Gems and Pearls - all also available from MCH!

They have some beautiful new things in store including Flowersoft some of which is Frosting and is gorgeous!!!! you can see it on Teresa's card here! Also there are some New Prima Pads in store and more on the way - so do look out for those. Also coming soon are Viva Pearl Pens!!! I can't wait to try them!!
