Today I’m sharing my swap card for the Candy Hearts April team meeting. The theme was weather. I used the Under My Umbrella  bundle (Under My Umbrella stamp set and Umbrella Builder Punch – available at 10% off only for another month!) the Beads & Baubles Embossing Folder, and the Pretty Label Punch along with three different Designer Series Papers: Peaceful Poppies, Bird Ballad, and Birthday Bonanza. I think the Beads & Baubles Embossing Folder looks like big rain drops. And the Pretty Label Punch looks very much like a cloud. The splotchy Pool Party background with vertical lines also adds to the gloomy, rainy feel – it’s from the Peaceful Poppies DSP.
