you make me happy...

Here is the April Quoteable. The challenge is to draw inspiration from this photo and create a project using it as your inspiration. 

I was drawn to the clouds, rain drops. and quote. 

These photos are of Hally, who is our granddaughter. These are the first photos of her that I am scrapping (it's complicated) and they are perfect for this challenge! 

I used the free Cloudy Circle cut file which you can find here. 

I cut it in white and then painted it with a grey watercolor paint and misted with white and grey ink. 

There is a vellum overlay on top of the raindrop paper and all the large clouds have hand stitching. 

The fussy cut raindrops have glossy enamel over them to provide some dimension.
