Sunshine in the Rain

Today is the day I am posting my card for our Challenge Your Stash group on SCS.  This is our 63rd month of de-stash, so we are into our 6th year of challenges.  We are continuing in 2022 and hopefully beyond as I know I have many, many items in my stash that I can use and love the fun challenges!

The premise is to create a card or something else that uses only items that are in your own stamp room--nothing new is to be purchased.  The hostess each month posts their challenge to the group. Each person in the group creates their card with their own image, their own papers, their own embellishments with their own supplies--using up items from their own stash!  The card can be for any occasion and each person is encouraged to send the card on its way to someone so it can be admired.  It is a way for us to step out of the box a bit and create something that follows a challenge--isn't that what a challenge is supposed to be.  And--no money is spent as all items are to be already available in each of own stamping spaces.

Jeanette posted our March challenge-Winter is leaving and Spring is arriving, so let's make Spring Themed cards--think flowers, umbrellas, birds, anything that goes with spring!

I picked one of my most favorite spring images from Penny Black called Sunshine in the Rain.  I just smile everytime I see this sweet image.   I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers. I die cut the panel with my favorite Gina K Designs Master Layouts 2. I layered on a black panel.  I did not add any additional embellishments, as it is a very large image and I think it stands alone!

 

If you check some of the blogs on my sidebar, you may find others who have posted their cards in the next few days. There may be more posted in the thread on SCS, so you might want to check out the link here.  We also have a keyword for the SCS Gallery--it is CYSMAR.  You might see many cards there if you do a search.  They probably will be posted today or in the next few days.

I hope you enjoyed my card and I know I am excited to check out what my other hoarders, I mean stash reducers have made!  Thanks for stopping by today!  For April, Sue is up for our challenge.  Be sure to check back to see what we create then!
