Paprika

It's another challenge at Little Miss Muffet Stamps!!  I set the theme to one of my favorites today which is "Rainbows, Clouds or Wings" and I decided to use clouds on my project.  The real reason is I found this fantastic idea from Ellen Hutson who created a gorgeous card using a clear plastic sheet and a bunch of liquid dots!  It was incredible and I wanted to give it a try... so here's my attempt.

The background was created with Crystal Effects and dotting in a regular patterns.  I placed a vellum sheet on top of my grid paper pad and dotted every other intersection to create the pattern.  The ideas originally was to use a clear plastic sheet but I couldn't find mine and settled for the vellum... however, I must confess that the clear acetate looks much better!  She also used a heart shape to cut into a cloud and I love that idea too!

The image is Paprika, which is a rubber stamp from Little Miss Muffet Stamps, and I went for non-yellow themed raincoats.  Don't get me wrong, I love yellow raincoats but I always try to color my images differently each time.  It keeps me motivated to try new things because I can easily get stuck in a rut.

This is one of those cards that is better felt than seen because each of the rain drops pops out a little and creates a nice texture.  Then adding the felt clouds keep your fingers interested.  LOL

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:
