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!*
As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse and special thanks to you if you take the time to join as a follower! Please let me know you came by so I can be sure to return the flavor!

ReplyDeleteFirst up, congratulations on your GDT spot!
ReplyDeleteThe 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

ReplyDeleteFirst 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

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!

ReplyDeleteCongrats 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!

ReplyDeleteSo adorable--love your sweet bunny! Those rain drops look fabulous and how creative to have a matching inside design!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being GD at JUGS. So very cute. Love the continued sentiment.
ReplyDeleteWildly 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?
