Ingredients:-Rainy Days
Welcome back to the IKEsWORLD challenges :) do pop on over to IKEsWORLD to join in the challenge, it is always so much fun and Ike produces the most amazing stamps, everything from off the wall to cute and fluffy :) :) :)
Rainy Days - in Saudi that is something I don't see very often hahaha, however, to all our surprise, a couple of weeks ago we had 10 days in a row with rain. It was not the heavy short downfalls we are used to that last a couple of days a couple of times a year but 10 days of on/off showers, much more like what I am used to when in the UK and boy, after 10 days we were all fed up over here. That made mw feel a bit bad as with rain being something in short supply, the ground loved it as did the plants (the desert is blooming now and looks magical) but rain and I are not that pally. Rain makes me feel quite 'blue' hence a blue card from me :)

I created the background with Spectrum Noir tints and then added Brusho for some texture effects. Raking through my stamps I found one that was perfect so that too was added to the background. Next I printed and fussy cut the image and added it to my background before colouring, not something I usually do but certainly much easier than colouring and then cutting afterwards. The umbrella is the one bit of bright colour here, a rainbow umbrella it had to be to make me smile in the rain hahahaha. The image was coloured with Promarkers and Polychromos pencils. Next I stamped some rain using silver ink and used an embossing wood folder which kind of looked like ripples of water along the bottom edge. To finish off I added some sparkly pre made blue flowers and added blue gems to the centre of each.
