Rainy Day Friend
You may have met her before, decked out in her cowboy hat & ready to ride, but here she is waitin' for all those April showers ahead... complete with her striped umbrella and rubber rain boots (or mucklucks. Or galloshes. Or whatever you call them!). In fact, that's the name of this brand spankin' new set from Clear Dollar Stamps: "Charliene April Showers". Visit the link and check out the complete set, along with some other great cards to get you inspired! Now here's the "downpour" (yikes...that's BAD!) on this card:

I saw your latest card at SCS and was really impressed with your Copic coloring. I like your blog and will have to stop back by for some more visits!

Great work!

Hi Erin,

I love the subdued colors of Charliene. She's cute no matter what she's "dressed" as.
