My first "rain" themed card

I had sooo much fun doing this card!!! The digi stamp is Patsy April Showers from::http://www.stampfairy.com/digistamps_easterspring_patsyaprilshowers.htm

I used my Cricut to cut the cuts on this card Plantin SchoolBook for the oval mats...layered with the cereal boxes to add deminson and stability (my tip for Tip Top Tuesday) this time I used it under all my paper layers I used the Forever Young cartridge for the scalloped mat,Serenade for my clouds and Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder

Added some rhinestone strips for my "rain"...lovin how they turned out...wish I had more...but again loveee using my stash! Also added a tear drop rhinestone on the pink rose...also rubbed stickles on the Prima flowers...wish I could capture how this looks in real life...and "feels" using the cereal boxes under my patterned paper really makes for a nice built card...the patterned paper is thin...but ohhh soooo pretty! I even made hubby wash his hands (after going around and around him telling me his hands were clean...joy) and "feel" it...he agreed you don't notice how nice it is until you feel it!
