I made this for today's SC. A bit late getting to it, as my new modem arrived today, so installing it and reconfiguring all the wireless peripherals took a bit of time.
With the weather we had today, what stamp to use was a no-brainer. This was me on my way to and from work - not the wellingtons, but my red umbrella did sterling duty.
The base card is an A2 green base.
Then some red handmade paper, from Clairefontaine.
The two strips of orange and yellow are also from Clairefontaine.
The main image came from Gorilla Crafts. I stamped it with Versafine black onto watercolour paper and coloured with H2Os. The sky is grey and blue chalk pastels sponged on. I used a clear Sakura Stardust pen to add shine to the raindrops on the stamped image, and silver Stickles to add raindrops to the red layer. Some Dew Drops at the top, and that's me done. Oh - I was going to add Glossy Accents to the wellies. I will, but DH is nearly home for dinner now.

I love your cute and adorable little duck. Great coloring and I really like the effect that you've achieved using the silver embossing, looks just like rain drops.
