Just Us Girls #405 - Word Week

Lisa is the host for Word Week Challenge at Just Us Girls and the word she chose is
That's right.  Shower. Any kind of shower.  I used what I had and made a baby shower card.  I don't need one but when I do it will be ready.
I started with a panel inked with DOX in Broken China and cut with the SSS frame die.  I laid the SSS rain stencil over it and blotted with a wet towel. I'm glad the look is subtle because I just realized it's on upside down. 😞
I silver embossed the handle of the MFT umbrella. and added the tag and sentiment from My Craft Spot (closed).  Not my best work but I'm out of practice.  Being away from home has interfered with my card creativity.

The ever lovely and talented  Darnell is our guest designer this month and she and the rest of the design team have some wonderfully 'wet' cards for your inspiration.  Take a peek and then create a shower card of your own. You may be chosen Chic of the Week with a chance to be our October guest designer.

I don't see why you say this is not your best work. I think it's simply adorable. I love the layers on the umbrella and that silver handle. And I had no idea the raindrops were upside down until you pointed it out. Should have kept your mouth shut.... ha ha!!!!! I think this is simply a fabulous little card.

Really pretty, I love the scalloped edges - they really pop with the colors you used. I think this card is gorgeous!

So sweet, Bobby ... love how you continued the scalloped theme from the delicious blue rainy panel to that cute little tag! Wondered how that brolly handle was so realistic ... looks brilliant all embossed and shiny! Hugs, Anita :)

Card is adorable Bobby! So funny that the rain stencil was upside down. I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't mention it. It all looks perfect ... and subtle, as you mentioned. Love the sweet umbrella. Hope you had a wonderful birthday. Sorry I'm late ... I've been "under the weather" myself. :) xx

This is adorable and I never would have noticed the raindrops without you pointing it out! The subtle background looks great and I love that little umbrella with the attached tag.

Love that umbrella Bobby! It'll be nice to have that card ready in case you need it in the future! Very cute card!
