Rainy Day Card

My morning wake up call was from one of my hubby's golfing buddies cancelling their round of golf today.  The weather forecasters were right.  It was pouring!  Consequently,  I decided today was the perfect day to pull out a Great Impressions rubber stamp that I hadn't used yet.  I was, however, very self-disciplined today.  I did chores first.  Now that doesn't happen often! 

Using more CTMH Dotty Paper pieces.  I even save the 1/8" scraps.  They are perfect for lacing with this border punch .  A layer of liquid glass on the colored boots gives them their shiny vinyl look.

Check out that fabulous handmade twine flower I won in a blog hop!  I found the tutorial and will definitely be making some of those!

NOTE TO SELF:  It is unwise to test the sharpness of the paper cutter by running your thumb over the blade.  It hurts and you get blood on your work space, not to mention the fact that you should know better.  Duh!!!!  (Eileen, I know what you're thinking!!!)
