Newton's Nook Designs March Release - Day 1

Hello again! Today the March release for Newton's Nook Designs begins! YAAY! Today Jennifer is introducing Spring Showers:

Spring Showers is a 3x4 stamp set that includes 10 stamps (4 images & 6 sentiments) and is perfect for a variety of get well soon cards, baby & bridal shower cards, and anytime you want to shower someone with kindness or love! I never seem to have enough get well cards in my stash, so that was direction I went with my sneak peek creation today:

(please click on the photo for clearer resolution). I created a cloud template and sponged some grey ink to create the stormy skies and cut out a freehand grey cloud and stamped the tiny white cloud from the set. The cute duck was colored with Chromatix markers and then I added a little Studio G glitter glue (which is just as sparkly as Stickles IMHO, even flows a little bit better) to the raindrops and puddles to make them sparkle. I paper pieced the umbrella with some springy flowers from a stack by the Paper Studio. Here is the inside (I wanted a transition from the grey clouds lifting to reveal sunny skies):
