Hello, friends! Justin here and today I am sharing my very last November Release project here on the Picket Fence Studios blog! For this project, I am featuring the new Peach and Piper Bad Weather Friends stamp set, and showing off how well they work with the new On a Cloudy Day stencil! I pull in the new Paper Glaze sampler as well to add some much needed sparkle to this rainy sky, so let's get drenched with the details!

I started my card by stamping out my chosen images from Peach and Piper Bad Weather Friends in alcohol-marker-safe ink, and colored them up accordingly with my Copic Markers. I chose to stay traditional with the rain coat attire, and really leaned into those yellow tones. Once completed, I used the coordinating dies to cut all of my images out and I set them aside.
For my background, I took an A2-size piece of a slightly dull blue cardstock from my stash, and lightly ink blended the top using Stormy Sky Distress Oxide Ink to just very slightly darken it. I then took my On a Cloudy Day stencil and sprayed the back lightly with Pixie Spray. I applied the stencil over my panel, and then applied a thins, yet solid, layer of the Silver Twinkle Lights Paper Glaze Luxe that is included in the Sunny Skies Paper Glaze Sampler Set. I set the panel aside to dry fully. Once fully dry, I trimmed the panel down to 4.125" x 5.375". I did this for 2 reasons. The first reason is that when I adhere this size to an A2-size card base, I will get a thin white frame around the project. The 2nd reason is that it trims off any excess Paper Glaze that dried on the edge of the panel, and allows me to achieve clean cut edges!
Next, I took a piece of kraft cardstock, distressed the bottom edge with Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink, and trimmed it to a think strip about 1.25" wide. I adhered this strip to my cloud background, on the bottom edge, and then used my scissors to trim off the excess.
I then grabbed a piece of dark gray cardstock from my scrap bin, and I heat embossed the sentiment "gray skies bring sunny days" from the Peach and Piper Bad Weather Friends stamp set in white embossing powder. I cut the sentiment out with the coordinating dies.
Using a combination of foam tape and liquid adhesive, I adhered all of my colored images and sentiment to my card. I also adhered a few sequins from the On a Midnight Dream Sequin Mix. I adhered the entire panel onto an A2-size card base, and my card was completed!
