Today's CAS challenge is to make a CAS card using one of the HYCCT challenges. I chose UnderstandBlue's challenge "Whatever the Weather" to make a card on the theme of the weather you like the least.
I really dislike the combination of rain and wind - when the wind blows the rain under your umbrella, through your raincoat, etc. In fact, I don't like rain much at all (though I know we need it!) and unfortunately for me, I live in Vancouver, Canada - part of the rainy Pacific Northwest coast!! But I love this city and wouldn't move!
I made an alcohol ink background with some silver mixative in it - it looks like a stormy blowy sky to me. Simple stamping of the woman with her umbrella blown inside out and the sentiment ("life moments" seemed perfect for one of these kind of moments!) in Staz-on (the background was done on glossy cs).

What an excellent image!! I usually end up walking my dogs in the rain - both of their leashes and the umbrella. You know when it turns inside out it's just about over. Great illustration!!

Beautiful background for a rainy day card! I bet the glossyness of the CS really adds to the 'wet' look! I'm not too keen on a lot of rain either but we seldom get an over abundance here. TFS

LOVE your windy and stormy background Susan! The alcohol inks are so vibrant and live the blue mixed with silver. What a shocker that you would make a blue background
Your image is perfect for that stormy background.
I LOVE the rain ... my favourite weather But only if I'm dry and just looking out at it.
