Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head...

Hello blogland and Happy Monday to ya!! Adina here again with a (hopefully!) uplifting lil cutie for ya...

This Springtime duo is from none other than Birdie Brown and was definitely inspired by my ardent desire for  winter to FINALLY be over so that Spring can find its way into town!

I printed the digi on Express-It Cardstock and then printed it again onto the orange patterned paper to paper piece the umbrella part. I added some shadows with a YR02 Copic, then pop dotted it to the image after cutting it out with my trusty, reliable Creative Memories Circle cutters. I colored the image in with copics, (E53, E57, E23 for the doggie and YR02 and Y02, Y04 for the birdie). Then I distress inked around the image in Broken China and Forest Moss. The sentiment is from a Close to My heart stamp set that comes with a lemonade pitcher above the words; I put a piece of tape over the image and just used the words for the peeking sunshine in the upper right hand corner of the card, added some chipboard banners, and viola... instant sunshine! :)

This lil guy was created for the Banners challenge over at Craft Your Passion this week, and is being submitted to Stamp and Create's Springtime Challenge, Forever Friends' Animal challenge, Creative Creations' Inspired by a Song, and Created With Love's Bright and Cheery Challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I do hope YOU have a sunshiney week!
