Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge # "Singing in the Rain"

Who Else Has Spring Fever?

What a great show this is.. It has been years sense I have see "Sing in the Rain". The first thing that comes to mind of course is the title song "Singing in the Rain". When I was little my Grandmother would sing this song. She even had a music box that had this tune. I have to say I love watching Gene Kelly sing and dance.. I love him in Xanadu as well. I can't help but think of "The unsinkable Molly Brown" When I see Debbie Renyolds. She is such a little spit fire of a singer and dancer. Did you know that she was not even a dancer until this movie.. She is a fast leaner. She said "This movie and childbirth were the hardest things I ever did". When I think of Debbie I also think of her daughter "Princess Leia" Carrie Fisher. I guess that's what happens when you have such a long carrier and then you family jumps on the Hollywood bandwagon as well.

Our challenge this week was to bring an element of water to our projects. I decided to use three elements of water.. Window sheeting, Crystal effects and Clear dew drops. From the time Sankari and I talked about this movie I had this little umbrella stamp in the back of my mind. I think it's actually the first time I have ever used it.. (sad I know) I stamped the image in black "Stazon" ink and water colored the image with chalk. When the image was dry I used crystal effect on the image. I used a stylus to add it in just the right places.

The best adhesive to use on Window sheeting is Glue dots. There hold were strong and secure. I even used the glue dots on the floating ribbon. I really love the floating effect you get when you use window sheeting. It's also fun to create the different layers that build upon the card as you open and close the card.
