Well hello everyone and thank you for joining us for the Rain Rain Go Away Blog Hop. This is a blog hop featuring projects with rain, clouds, umbrellas or rainbows.

You should have arrived from Julia, if not you can start from the beginning with Connie.
This is a one day blog hop, but you have until 10pm Sunday 14th April (US Pacific Coast time) or 5pm Monday 15th April (Melbourne time) to finish hopping and leaving your love for all of these talented crafters.
We have four awesome sponsors for this hop – Cowtown Creates (Laura McGinnis has graciously donated a $20 gift voucher to her online Stampin Up store), Holli Pruitt Rodriguez (Sunflower Holi – is giving away this gorgeous Easter Kit by Simple Stories), Liz Mullen (Liz is donating an awesome envelope punch board, stickers and a pen) and Sarah Biswabic(Crazy About Cards – is giving away this awesome package containing a wreath kit, a stamp set, 2 rolls of twine and 2 rolls of washi tape).
So, what do you need to do to win? Easy… become a follower of each of the fabulous blogs in this hop and leave each of them a comment, letting them know what you like best about their projects. If you’re one of the lucky winners there will be free shipping to the USA, but if you’re worldwide you will be asked to pay shipping. You’ll need to hop and leave a comment on every blog to be eligible to win. Winners will be announced on Wednesday 17th April (US Pacific Coast time) or Thursday 18th April (Melbourne time) at Connie Can Crop.
For my card, I used a new to me stamp set from Altenew called ‘Rain or Shine’ for my card.
I stamped the lightening and sentiment and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I then sponged the whole background in Wilted violet distress oxide ink. I then stamped the clouds in Seedless Preserves and Black Soot Distress Oxide ink. I spritzed with some water to get the inks blending a bit to soften them. Then I added this ink piece to a black card panel and mounted them on a white card base.

Why not join in the blog hopping fun and see what the other artists have created. Next in the hop list is: Sue.

You managed to capture some of Arizona’s lightening. When it’s monsoon season I love watching the double, triple and sometimes quadruple lightening strikes.
