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 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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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! 🙂
This is one of my favorite sets and I haven’t given it much love. Thanks for the great ideas and eyecandy!
It’s a good life!

I’m glad you focus on older stampsets every month. The stampsets shown here are so versatile and timeless. I really like them.

Gorgeous and beautiful as always…visited all the DT and it was amazing…now can’t wait for the count down!!
this was my first ever stamp set and it is still one of my favorites. I love it. Thanks for sharing all these beautiful cards!
Very interesting article! Thanks a lot!
i’m so glad you chose these sets. scattered showers & egg hunt were the first sets i purchased. maybe an umbrella die? thanks.
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.
Well, it’s raining here today, so you picked the perfect set to showcase today!! I loved your projects and the projects of the design team 🙂
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!
I love the card you made! The colors are perfect and the background you created is awesome! I love coming to your blog to be inspired.
Love your card, Nichole! The colors are so pretty, and the stamps are awesome. Your cohorts did awesome cards, too. So inspiring!
Being fairly new to papertrey I have never seen this set – how cute is it:) I do believe it is now being added to my wish list:)
Oh, this is really cool! Love the umbrella image and your background is just truly gorgeous, Nichole! Such a fun time of the month!
Hugs, Wendy
