Rainy Mondays

Yesterday was a rainy day, so I made this card. But it literally took me ALL day and into the night to make it. That's why I'm posting it today. I even had to go to the store to buy some crackle medium for my picket fence. I found a tutorial here, and followed the instructions to make it. I'm not sure why, but this card didn't turn out how I envisioned it. I spent SO much time on it, too. I was going for a shabby-chic look, and I think it fell short. Some constructive criticism would be appreciated! Here are the challenges for which I made this card:

Mojo Monday - sketch
The Shabby Tea Room - Use the colors and theme of the photo
Pink Elephant - Spring Colors
Heart 2 Heart - Raindrops keep Falling

I used a cereal box and paint to make the fence. I cut out the little clouds and leaves with the CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge. I was looking for a final touch and found some old fabric that I had used to make a blouse. I couldn't believe how perfectly it matched my colors!
