Welcome friends! Today I’m excited to be joining Simon Says Stamp in a blog hop celebrating their latest release Rain or Shine! This is Day 2 of the hop so be sure to head over to Day 1 for even MORE inspiration!
Hey look! A FREE gift just for you!

Today I have a mini slim line card featuring the cutest little bears! I couldn’t decide which bear to use on my card so I used as many as I could fit!
VIDEO
You can catch my video tutorial down below or HERE on my Youtube channel.
These guys from the Rain or Shine set make the best Springtime scene from jumping in puddles to smelling the flowers and hanging with their froggie friends!

I colored the images using my Olo Markers using X-Press It card stock.
The colors I used are:
- O4.6, O4.3, O4.1, O4.0
- R0.6, R0.5, R0.4, R0.3, R0.2
- YG1.6, YG1.4, YG1.2, YG2.1
- YO2.7, YO2.5, YO2.3
- OR3.7, OR3.4, OR3.2
- BG11-Copic
I added a smidge of ink blending to a 3″ x 6″ piece of cardstock using Marine and Sprout ink.

For a bit of added shine, I stamped the sentiment in Versafine Ink and heat embossed clear embossing powder.
I just adore this little scene!
