This week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge is a very seasonally spring Inspiration Challenge. Our design team have created some fresh cards so, head over to the Hand Stamped Sentiments page to view them all and then join the challenge.

Here is my card created using the adorable Playing In The Rain bundle by Stampin’ Up!. I also used the soon to be retiring Rain or Shine DSP and a piece of Textured 12X12 Shimmer Paper.

This set is so great because the dies cut out the stamped images as well as the sweet, and sometimes glossy images in the DSP. Below is a list of supplies that I used to create this card. You’ll want to get your hands on this DSP asap as it will no longer be available after May 1st.
