Hey there! Welcome back for day 2 of Scattered Showers Additions peeks! I'm thrilled to hear from so many of you that are excited about this set!
For this first card, I thought I'd show you one of the sentiments that I felt was important to add to this set. As you already know, the Scattered Showers stamp set gives you the ability to create super cute baby shower & bridal shower invitations. But what about being able to say 'Thank You' after the shower, for all of those precious gifts your loved ones blessed you with??? That's where Scattered Showers Additions comes in, with it's 'Thank you' sentiment. Now, you can create custom 'Thank you' notes to coordinate with your baby & bridal shower invitations!
Also thought I'd point out that if you're not in the mood to cut out that handle on the umbrella, don't forget that you can stamp the handle on your base layer, and that only leaves the umbrella top to cut out. Easy peasy! And can I just say that I'd love to have an umbrella just like this one in real life?!! Ha. I stamped the outline umbrella image from Scattered Showers on some In Bloom patterned paper. Delish, right??
And since we're talking about shower invitations, I'd like to point out another sentiment that can be found in the new Scattered Showers Additions stamp set. The Scattered Showers stamp set contains the 'Bridal Shower' sentiment as well as a 'Baby Shower' sentiment. Soooo.....I've included a 'You're invited to a' sentiment in Scattered Showers Additions that can easily be paired up with those shower sentiments to create even cuter shower invitations!
Notice those cute little leaves on the umbrella? The leaves are another single image in Scattered Showers Additions. They were designed to be paired with a cute little flower image in the set! Don't the leaves look just perfect paired with that tiny little button?!
And lastly for today, I thought it'd be fun to make a set of 4 mini-cards (3" x 3") using this week's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge colors....you know, in case you were thinking about playing along but needed some ideas for making the colors work together! *wink* What do you think? Aren't they FUN?!
Here are close-ups of the 4 little cards. You've already seen the 'clouds' image, but how about that new sentiment? Just another one of the versatile sentiments in Scattered Showers Additions!
This little mini features the tiny little flower image that is included in the Scattered Showers Additions set. See how well it works with the little leaves image? AND, there's another one of the sentiments from this new set!
I did a bit of heat embossing on the rain drops with clear embossing powder on the vintage cream card stock. I think it looks so soft and pretty, like a gentle spring rain!
Ok, so I don't know about you, but I looooooove this sentiment! Hee. Another new one from Scattered Showers Additions. Did I TELL you this set was packed with fab sentiments that will give you about a zillion possibilities for cards and projects you can make?!! I wasn't kidding! LOL!
And here's one more peek at a new sentiment. Just love it paired with a sweet little brellie and some raindrops!
