Mimi in the Rain

Hi! Just wanted to pop in and show you the card I made for the most recent Color Challenge at DeNami Design!

Here are the colors:

And here's my creation:

I finally bought this "Mimi in the Rain" image (DeNami Design) at the Rubber Stamp & Scrapbook Expo in Colorado! It had been on my wish list for well over a year, so I was anxious to ink it up! When I saw Michele's color combo, I thought it would be a perfect fit.

Black & white instantly brings text to mind, so that was my starting point. I paper pieced the umbrella and then coated it with Crystal Lacquer (I also used the lacquer on her galoshes although it's difficult to see in the photo.). Here's a close-up of the umbrella:

I used a glue pad, "Seeds/Drops" (DeNami Design), and "Xtra Fine Sparklets" (DeNami Design) to create the glistening raindrops in the background! I usually make raindrops blue for some reason, but since blue was NOT one of the color challenge colors I had to try something new!! That's one of the reasons I love challenges so much! They really encourage us to stretch ourselves and try new things! YAY!

Hope you like my card for today! Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out the DeNami Design Blog Hop tomorrow!!! It's going to be jam-packed with inspiration (and prizes too)!! I can't wait!
