Come rain or come shine

Hello!


For the last one week I was working on a card for ICRC5... that is to interpret the word RAIN... After long thinking I was sure about the concept and the design but where were the supplies to implement? That was a challenge... And then started the whole process of doodling and coloring... It took a hell lot of me to complete... but I am satisfied with the results... Have a look...

It is a circle shaped card with an umbrella working as a bookmark which can be removed to view the full card. The birdies are made out of patterned papers by doodling over it and then cut it by hand... but the base of the card is white cardstock on which I  doodled everything from flowers to rain and falling hearts and then colored with my Faber Castel watercolor pencils... I made circle shapes by using compass and then cutting it.. used Doily punch (Purchased from Kavitha's craft studio) to give an actual umbrella effect..

On removing you can see the rain falling on the love birds... My main idea was to make a sliding umbrella which you can slide to left or right so as the rain is visible... but I don't have eyelets or brads to implement the idea so I had to make a whole big umbrella as a boomark...

I decked up the inside of the card with a love sentiment and used few puffy stickers to decorate it...

I used glitters to highlight all the main elements of the card.

I hope you like my efforts. This is my favorite creation till now. Please let me know your thoughts on this.
