I'm sorry for cheating in the TLC challenge, but I just bought some action wobbles and, darnit, I was going to use them! I'm so glad I did, because this little bear looks adorable wobbling on her background! I was a little stumped on Lee's Stormy Skies challenge. I wasn't sure how I was going to do a stormy sky. So I searched my stamps for umbrella images and found this freebie from Di's Digi Stamps. I figured to keep it CAS, I would mask an area, sponge with Distress inks and splatter with water. I think it's a successful stormy sky. This will be a perfect card for next time I need to send someone a little encouragement. Thanks for the fun challenges, Lee and Sabrina!

I love the rainy background you created and your little bear is adorable. A year ago we were in flood waters from Harvey. What a difference a year can make.

Your sponged and spattered stormy sky is super. And your little bear - I'm going to imagine she's a bear Mary Poppins - floating past on her umbrella and wobbling in the storm is just so very sweet.

Jen, your darling little ‘she bear’ is just the cutest and having her wobble with her umbrella within the stormy sky is genius! We’re actually experiencing torrential rains with high wind now and your card is a sweet take on This Too Shall Pass!
