Before I go on, I just want to point out that here in Central Texas we are in severe drought conditions and truly my card would be more acurate if it had a blazing sun with baked monkeys under it. The sentiment would still fit as no matter the heat I have not abandoned my husband to spend the entire summer at Grandma's house where it is only in the 70's and 80's. However a girl can dream about rain boots and umbrellas.
I also utilized some American Crafts paper with rain boots that I discovered while doing the scrapbook store tour in Mid-Missouri with my mom. Umbrellas and rain boots would only make a big beautiful bow soggy so I opted out of the bow...this time. I also used the Effervescence punch Fletcher had purchased for me for our anniversary on the long skinny panel. Then I threaded some very skinny ribbon through the small holes. When I had finished coloring the image I went over the lines in the stamp with the glaze pen. If you don't have a Glaze pen, you need at least the black one. It really blackens in the stamp lines and makes them shiny, almost like you had heat embossed the image (which I detest doing!).

and the inside...

Supplies:
Paper: American crafts and Bazzil card stock
Stamps: Stampendous
Markers and pens: Sharpie, Bick, Prisma color and a black Glaze pen
Ribbon: American crafts (rainbow) and Wal-Mart (yellow)
Tools: Effervescence punch by Fiskars
