And here is the card I created:
I had in my head what I was planning to do, but as I flipped through my Repeat Impressions stamps, I came across the clock face and thought it would be a fun play on the word "soon" in the sentiment. And then, my idea changed completely!! I pulled out the umbrella paper and the print paper which has the words from the rhyme "Rain, rain, go away". I've used these for get well cards before as they go with the "under the weather" theme. I inked the edges of everything (except the card base) with gray ink and embossed the base layer with a fun embossing folder. I die cut some flowers, spritzed them with water and crumpled them up. After they were mostly dry, I layered 3 together and attached with a brad for each flower. A few die cut leaves, some bits of ribbon from my bits and pieces stash (the circle the clock face was stamped on is also from the stash) and some clear drops finish everything off. This is a bit more embellished then what I usually create with even a jeweled brad to hold the clock hands.

Oh Heather, what a great take on my challenge for this week!! I love how you incorporated the "under the weather" aspect with the cat and super cute sentiment! This is absolutely adorable!!!
Love your take on the raining cats and dogs - what a great idea to use the clock. I don't have the clock face orhands BUT think I mighy have to get them. Love your handmade flowers.
What a great take on the challenge, this is so clever and striking, like all the details on your card especially the flowers!
What a really clever card! I really like the clock and the sentiment paired together!
Feline better is the right sentiment for anything cat related as well as time related. So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas this month for our "Anything Goes" challenge.
Great take on this month's DCC - had to look hard for that cat! Love that sketch!
Gorgeous card with the great sentiment. You have a great eye for detail!
Thanks for joining us at Cheerful Sketches.
