Senior Design Team Challenge: Scattered Showers Revisited

May 31, 2011      Nichole Heady      18 Comments

It's one of my favorite times of the month, a day dedicated to bringing a previously released stamp set back to the forefront with renewed inspiration!  This month we are actually focusing on pair of sets: Scattered Showers & Scattered Showers Additions by Dawn McVey.

Scattered Showers
Scattered Showers provides everything you need to create a beautiful array of stylish umbrellas.  They can be made to look masculine or feminine, modern or vintage…it's all about the colors you choose and what you pair them with!

Scattered Showers Additions
To complement the original set, Dawn also created Scattered Showers Additions which has all kinds of wonderful images to use in conjunction with the original umbrellas.  And even more appropriate sentiments!

Under the Weather Card
For my project today, I opted to create a little card that would wish someone well and bring a little cheer when they are sick.

Background
I wanted to create a background that resembled large-scale raindrops and thought these shapes from Modern Basics would do just the trick.  I used Hawaiian Shores, Aqua Mist, Simply Chartreuse & Ripe Avocado to stamp my own custom pattern.

Umbrella closeup
I didn't use the traditional handle included in Scattered Showers to use with the umbrella top, I instead bent one of the long sentiments from Around & About Sentiments.  The little flower is from Scattered Showers Additions.

Sentiment closeup
I adhered a strip of Simply Chartreuse cardstock to the side of the card that was stamped with a few butterflies from Butterfly Dreams in VersaMark ink.  The sentiment was layered across the bottom of the card using True Black ink.

Down
Now that I've shown you my fresh take on Scattered Showers, let me show you the AMAZING things that the Design Team has created!

    Your Under the Weather card is jaw-dropping! I am so impressed with the way you combined the stamp sets! Sensational colors, amazing “raindrops,” the “painted” umbrella, and those delightful butterflies … you’ve done it again! 🙂 All the DT cards are wonderful as well! 🙂

    Thanks for revisiting those two fun sets. We have had the craziest weather in Idaho lately and I’m sure all of my friends would appreciate a card created with these stamps…especially the SUN!! By the way Nichole, could you please let me know where you got the “birdcage” CD storage holder. It’s just perfect.

    Karen,
    I got my birdcage CD holder through Amazon, if you just google “birdcage CD Rack” you will get many results. Good luck in your search!
