Rain Rain

The card is from the Nursery Rhymes cart and I've used deep blue mirror card to reflect how rain makes things shine. Both it and the shadow cut are at 4", the shadow is on black card. The main paper reminds me of rain spots, I've mounted this on navy blue paper.  The background paper reminds me of water. The lace ribbon is from Ribbons and Rosettes and I've slotted blue ribbon through it. After spending a couple of unsuccessful hours trying to cut the phrase from mirror card I gave in and did it in my graphics program then mounted it on mirror card.

Shush.....

I was looking in Nursery Rhymes for a cut suitable to weld into a shaped card, this one is easy as you don't have much to hide at all. The embellishments are from Ribbons and Rosettes. This one is lattice, very suitable for slotting ribbon through. It takes a little patience and then finding the right place to shape the ends to fit the curve of the cradle. I ruched some lace with a running stitch before gluing to the front of the hood. I made the sentiment in my graphics program where I'm able to curve the font as well. I mounted this on some silver card to pick up the sheen from the ribbon. The card under the sentiment actually makes the card more stable and it actually rocks. I tried to be totally different and "do my own thing".
