PLAYING IN THE RAIN FUN FOLD!

 Hi, Friends,

I wanted to share a card I made for a monthly swap I am in.  The group is organized into small groups, and each member sends a card to the other members once a month.  It is fun to get cards in the mail each month!

I used the stamp set Playing in the Rain and used the same fun fold I used for the Irresistible Blooms card I posted on March 11.

4. Adhere Basic White Cardstock to the Mango Melody Cardstock.
5. Adhere Rain or Shine DSP strip to Mango Melody Cardstock strip.  Adhere to small flap on left side.
6. Use liquid glue or Tear n Tape on each end of small flap to make small pocket (or adhere it shut if you wish).
7. Adhere Rain or Shine DSP to Mango Melody Cardstock; adhere to front of card base.
8. Stamp sentiment to lower right corner of Basic White Cardstock (landscape) using Flirty Flamingo ink.  Stamp rabbit image using Early Espresso ink on left side of sentiment panel.  Color water using Pool Party marker.
9. Adhere sentiment panel to Mango Melody Cardstock.
10. Adhere sentiment panel to card base (ADHERE ONLY TO FRONT PANEL).
11. Use Early Espresso ink to stamp rabbit image on scrap of Basic White Cardstock.  Cut out using die and SU Die Cut Machine.  Color using markers.
12. Attach rabbit to sentiment panel using dimensionals.
