sCongratulations, Shona! Here is what Sarah had to say about your card:

A stunning example of clean, simple and crisp design! Despite the

simplistic look to the card, the intricate faceted die certainly isn't

a simple one to select for the inlaid die technique. Utilised to

perfection here though with total elegance and sophistication.

Keep it Sweet & Simple

Hello there, my name is Caroline and I am excited to be with you as Guest Designer this week.

Thank you so much to all the DT girls for having me.

I'm a mum to 2 grown up girls, Maria and Annabel, and have been married

to my soulmate for 30 years.

We live in the beautiful spa town of Harrogate, North Yorkshire - rated as the

happiest place to live in Britain.

I've been making cards and blogging them, for 8 years now. Crikey!!

And I think I am finally starting to find my style ;-)

I love playing along with challenges and I am a bit of a magpie.

I am easily distracted by shiny things, and fairy lights, gitter, and sequins

make me happy :-)

I hope you have fun with this week's 'rain' challenge and good luck xxx

Here is our inspiration for you -

Caroline (Guest Designer)

How clever she is to use those pretty clear sequins as raindrops for her beautiful roses!

We are so happy to introduce our Guest Designer for this challenge

Shawna Standish

Firstly, I want to sincerely thank Addicted to CAS and the designers for this opportunity! What a joy to be guest designing here with such talented company.

So with that said, let me introduce myself. My name is Shawna Standish from TheGrandStampede. I am a forty year old mother of two, nicely nestled in Michigan, USA. I have been creating cards for about three years. It all started when I was faced with the possibility of becoming blind. It was not until then I started looking at color and objects with new vigor, soaking up everything, knowing I might not see in the future. Fortunately I am fine, and I live to see another day.

My crafting however, lead into an unstoppable obsession. I wanted to share my art with others who had similar interests. I ended up finding wonderful people from all around the world. I could not be more blessed to know my blog friends and to see their art which inspires so much of what I do. Again thanks to everyone at Addicted to CAS for this amazing opportunity to share my work with others.

All the best,

Shawna

On with our inspiration
