Two Birds With One Stone (or should I say Card?)

Now that Island Scrapbooking is carrying Your Next Stamp, I decided to make a sample for the store and enter into the first YNS challenge! I chose Rainy Day Fhiona since she was wearing a rain coat, which I immediately thought I should color yellow. It reminds me of the JPO's at my elementary school. It never rained that hard in Kailua, but for some reason, they always wore those yellow rain jackets... Now Hilo JPO's I could understand, but not in Kailua...

I thought long and hard about how to make it look like it was raining on the card... I finally came up with using my stickles on acetate and streaked the drops to make them look like rain. I think it came out pretty good. Its really hard to tell from these photos, but when you see it in person, it looks like it's raining on Fhiona.

The fun part about this particular challenge is that there will be a winner picked, AND you can also win a stamp just by entering (random person will be drawn)! So even if you are not confident you can compete with the experts, there's still a chance you could win something... Might as well enter, right?
