Rain or Shine !

 Hi there!

Thank you so much for being here ! I am so glad you popped in to take a look at three cute - yes I made some cute cards - not something I often do, but I really fell in love with the the sweet characters from the Rain or Shine stamp set from the new Simon Says Stamp release, with the same name... Rain or Shine!

I used my Silhouette cameo to cut out the images, but of course you can use the coordinating dies if you have them available, alternatively you can fussy cut them! I used my Zig Markers to water color the images and to create the simple backgrounds. The images were popped up with  foam tape, and I used rhinestones to embellish my cards.

Clean, simple and sweet ! I hope you love these as much as I do 😊

Remember to visit the Simon gallery for amazing inspiration and search for #SSSRainOrShine and #SimonSaysStamp on social media.

Wishing you a day filled with sunshine!

Hannelie
