Guest Designer over at Crafting By Designs .. F

Yayy I was picked as a guest designer over at Crafting by Designs as one of my cards was picked as a DT favorite.  The challenge theme is Under the weather/Get Well.  I decided to interpret the Under the weather completely different to being unwell.

I had just bought a couple of new stamp sets from Art Journey, Umbrella girl and raindrops so I thought it perfect for the theme and look great on my tag..  

I used pan pastels for the background and then stamped grass at the bottom using TH forest moss.  I then stamped umbrella girl, raindrops and umbrella man from a TH collection I own.  I then used glossy accents for the rain drops.

Now for the pics and I hope you enjoy them.

Why not head on over to Crafting by Designs and join in with the fun.
