Raindrops card

Hi friends, I hope your Sunday is going well?
I have had a very lazy one , nice to just rest 
sometimes.
 
 
 
I did manage another card though, I should
 be tidying my craft room.NO idea how I even
 managed  a card with no space  here either. Sooo 
glad you can't see all the mess lol.
 
 
 
I have had these pretty raindrop stamps for a
 while now. I just HAD to buy them as I loved
 them so much. But have I used them before??
errr.....nope.
 
 
 
 
I will try and add a photo of our frogs
 AGAIN. Blogger was playing up last time
 I tried.Oh and a few flowers in our garden
 just now too.Managed it now, see below!
 
 
 
Enjoy your Sunday...well what's left of 
it that is !
 
 
 
Right here is my card, come and have
 a closer look.

I too just had to buy that raindrop stamp and then didn't know what to do woth it. Love how you've used it Viv. And frogspawn in your pond already - must be that bit warmer in Norfolk than Lincolnshire! Thanks for playing at AAA Cards.

Oh I LOVE this card. I love the gradient blues and the funny thing about that stamp - I have it too or one very similar and have never used it until this challenge. Mine looks very different because it is embossed and water-colored over top. Love your sequin placement and the sentiment. Thanks so much for playing at AAA Cards! Please come again!

A beautiful card using your NBUS drops, Vee! And thank you for sharing the lovely photos! I'm really impressed that you are using a camera in positions other than AUTO!! Hugs, Dee

Kylie said...

I have been eyeing off those raindrop stamps too but have had to hold back. I'm always "I have to have that" and never use the ruddy things. I love how you have used them with your sponged panel. Just so pretty!! Thanks so much for playing along at Happy Little Stampers xx

Those droplets look great Viv! I, like you, also just HAD to have those droplet stamps, got them, and again, like you, haven't used them! What are we like? ;) Have a lovely day! Hazel xx

Thank you Viv, but I stopped doing challenge cards about 5 years ago, there aren't enough hours in the day :o)

I love your photos and am jealous that you are out of the auto setting. Just lovely to have blooms already. Gives me hope that we may see some soon, too. The card is perfect for AAA this week. Your coloring and the stamp are just right for the challenge. Lovely job!
