PIP Challenge 1817 Fifth Monday Theme is RAINY DAYS

Pammie's Inky Pinkies
Challenge 1817

Except on a 5th Monday and this week it's
RAINY DAYS
Join in the fun NOW
So glad to have Bugaboo Stamps as our sponsor this week!
I always have fun with their images! 
Here's my card!
First of all I ran my cardfront through an embossing folder for the dots. Once the image was printed I colored it with my Copic markers. I added sparkle pen to the rain drops and crystal lacquer to "April". Naturally a couple of gems for my flowers. Nothing like a touch of bling. 
I put my layers together and completed my card. 
Thanks for stopping by!!

So glad to have Gerda Steiner as our sponsor this week!
This is her first sponsorship with PIP Challenges and I am super happy to have her! Be sure to check out all her great products! You will certainly find some awesome images, stamps, and more to choose from!  Check them out now!
Here's my card!
I've entered it in the Gerda Steiner monthly challenge.
I just adore the stamps and images from Gerda Steiner and this one is a fave! I used a wave stencil to create my ocean and added some torn kraft cardstock, edged with brown ink, for my sand. I inked a sun and sponged a bit of yellow ink for the sky as well. I stamped a great sentiment for this little scene and added a couple of shell charms. My fun little surfer duck was colored with Copic markers.
I added some glaze for the sunglasses and put together my layers to complete my card. I think it's just too cute! That duckie makes it that way!!
