Rainy Day Hi

Hello, again! It's Andrea with you. This week on the Crafty Meraki blog, it's all about backgrounds. Crafty Meraki has so many gorgeous background dies and hot foil plates that the only difficult thing about this theme is choosing which one to use!

I recently picked up the Speckled Canopy Background Die and really wanted to use it. When I looked at the die, I kept imagining rain drops falling and making splashes; hence, the idea for this card.

I blended an A2 panel of white cardstock with Stormy Sky Distress Oxide. I didn't aim for perfect blending as I wanted a moody, cloudy sky. I diecut the panel with the Speckled Canopy Background Die and backed it with silver glitter paper.

That adorable pig from the Hogs & Kisses stamp set was the perfect image for my rainy background. I stamped him with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored him with Copics. I diecut him with the coordinating dies and added highlights with a white gel pen.

For my sentiment I used the Meraki Moments Hi Dies. I diecut two of the layers from yellow and teal cardstocks and stacked them. I cut a vellum circle and adhered my sentiment and colored image on top with bits of foam.

I adhered the circle to my card with thin foam, hiding it behind the sentiment and image. I glued clear droplets to the card and brushed clear sparkle over the yellow "hi".

Thanks for stopping by!
