This is my sample for Renee's VSN challenge which is to create a card using plaid, i.e., Burberry Plaid. When I saw this MFT Rain or Shine set, I immediately thought of a plaid rain coat that I had as a kid. I had a matching hat and umbrella. I used to get excited when it rained outside because it meant that I could go out and wear my new raincoat, hat and umbrella.
I tried really hard to find some Burberry Plaid DP, but was unable to find any. So, I said to myself, "Self, I think you can make your OWN DP." Which I did. I found a Burberry Plaid image on Google and copied it multiple times into my Photoshop Elements 6 program until I had a square big enough to use. Then I printed it out from my computer. How flippin' smart am I? I stamped the main image on white card stock, then again on the Burberry Plaid paper, then paper pieced the coat, boots and doggie sweater. The raindrops have Diamond Stickles on them - they kind of look like rocks or bullets. Maybe she's walking her dog in a war zone. Anyways, thanks for a fun challenge, Renee!
