Falling Rain

Hello crafters, 
This fortnight, the Allsorts challenge optional theme, chosen by Sarah is "Inspired by a song". As usual, you can also enter with an "anything goes" theme.

My card is inspired by the song When the Rain Begins To Fall by Jermaine Jackson and Pia Zadora (Youtube here)


The focal image is "Sparkle In the Rain" from Visible image (VIS-SIR-01).
I first stamped the image with black Versafine and masked it. 
The rainbow was then created with Distress Inks and a DIY mask, adding a sun (also DIY mask). 

I printed some of the song's lyrics on vellum and die-cut it with a Spellbinders die.

Finally I added dew drops to the lyrics label to hide the glue that would otherwise show through the vellum and liquid glass for the rain drops:
