Hi there!
I'm absolutely pickled tink to be here today as the August Guest Designer for the very fun challenge Just Us Girls! (JUGS)! I hope you will join me for the four August challenges lined up for your summertime inspiration!
The current challenge #405 is a Word Week and the word is SHOWER.
I went with rain shower and used a darling ancient critter stamp and NBUS raindrops and sediment:
Here is a closeup so you can see the glossing and winking and (maybe) his little black jeweled eyes:

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!*
I'm absolutely pickled tink to be here today as the August Guest Designer for the very fun challenge Just Us Girls! (JUGS)! I hope you will join me for the four August challenges lined up for your summertime inspiration!
The current challenge #405 is a Word Week and the word is SHOWER.
I went wonky wild using my MFT and Spellbinders wonky dies. The happy little bunny splashing in the rain is from a company that is no longer in business. The sediment and raindrops are from The Stamps of Life.
Here is a closeup so you can see the glossing and winking and (maybe) his little black jeweled eyes:
...and the inside with the rest of the sweet sediment and a Petite Umbrella from Memory Box:
Whether baby, bridal, rain, bathroom, meteor, or whatever unique way you can conjure up the word SHOWER, we'd love to see your work of art! For more inspiration, please check out the wonderful creations by the Design Team at Just Us Girls!!
Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!*

love your cards
First up, congratulations on your GDT spot!
The little bunny is just adorable, I love the expression on his face - I guess he is not too happy with a wet bottom! I love the way you did the raindrops, they are so realistic. I also love the way you finished off the card inside too, so professional and so beautiful!
Hope you have a lovely weekend. Big hugs, Annie xxx
Sweet cards Darnell and congrats on your DT spot! Will put my thinking cap on for this one, Cathy x
Congratulations on your GDT spot Darnell. Super card, love that bunny and your wonky square xx
Love those water droplets, so realistic! We've had plenty of the real thing around here this summer. :)
Two fabulous shower cards - great effect with the wonky stitched lines and sweet little critter.

Cute card!!
First off congratulations on being the August GD for this lovely challenge Darnell, and what a super fun card you have come up with. I adore your cute bunny with his rather wet bottom, and the sparkly raindrops look great, also the inside is just as beautiful as the outside and the wonky dies go perfectly. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the rest of the challenges this month too. x
Great cards !!!
And congrats to you !

Here it's HOT and the rain is a big dream... so your card makes me feel more fresh :D LOL Great design for your fun card, and love the sparkling! Congrats for your GD!
...and it rained last night so this is doubly appropriate. Hope your yard got the same drink of water. Adorable the way you made those drops glisten and his eyes sparkle. Such a sweet card.
What a fabulous, fun combo of old and new! Your little bear is one of those stamps that's too cute to give up for sure. I adore every bit of this! Congrats on your guest spot!
Oops, I meant bunny. Your little bunny... sheesh, big ears, big feet -- bunny!
So adorable!!! Love those wonky dies too! So happy you are guest designing at JUGS!!!!
Awww such a darling card Auntie!!! Love the shiny sparkle if those rain drops and the sentiment can't be any better. Hugs, Brenda
All of these cards are so wonderful and perfect for the theme. I congratulate you too on the guest spot. You certainly pulled it off in great style with these fantastic card designs.
Absolutely fabulous card, love every think about it.

What an adorable card, and I love the inside! You did an outstanding job.
Congrats for being a part-time JUGS girl! Hah, that sounds almost offensive doesn't it? LOL What a fun card with all of it's wonkiness and schparkliness. Very cool CAS card!
This is the kind of shower I like! Darling umbrellas and I love that wonky stitched edge! How fun that you are GD at JUGS!
Adorable little critter, great raindrops, and wonderful inside of card too!
Congrats on being the GD, Darnell! Your card is adorable & will really brighten someone's day!
Fabulous card for your guest designing for August. Love the wonky stitched die. Just letting you know our latest grandson made his arrival on Friday, two weeks early. Linda xxx
Perfect card for the JUGS GD spot. Love your cute card and the wonky rectangles. Have a great weekend.
How absolutely adorable!!! I love that you have kept this design simple with just the focal image and those raindrops. Love your stitched die cuts too. So happy to have you with us this month as Guest Designer.....welcome!!!
So adorable--love your sweet bunny! Those rain drops look fabulous and how creative to have a matching inside design!
Congratulations on being GD at JUGS. So very cute. Love the continued sentiment.
Wildly applauding your GD appearance at JUGS and crushing over your sweet shower card! The bunny...that umbrella...those raindrops...LOVE! We 'finally' had some rain here but didn't amount to much, aside from giving my yard o'weeds more incentive to grow even more quickly! We have landscaping lined up; just waiting for a date. Excited...I'll be glad to have grass, boulders, gravel, trees and even a little garden space! Off to see mom/mark exams this week; then high-tailing it back home with my brother, SIL and the two darlings hot on my heels, coming to spend a week with us. Soooo excited! Maybe a call when things settle down..pretty please?
hugs~c

Love these sweet cards! The raindrops are great.
I'm so happy to have you as our guest designer this month, Darnell. I want to reach out and touch those raindrops they look so real.
A great card Darnell - I am sure Hammy must have enjoyed all the raindrops as you created them, as they didn't make him wet!
