April Showers


 Good morning, we have a new challenge for you  over at Fab'n' Funky,
 our lovely Ginny is the host this fortnight , her chosen theme is
 APRIL SHOWERS/MAY FLOWERS
- so umbrellas , flowers or both. As we have had a LOT of April showers here, or April downpours would be more accurate, I went for the umbrella option, mine has had a lot of use lately! The focal image is a rubber stamp from Whippersnapper, which I've had for some time. She's coloured with Copic markers, I've stencilled some clouds in the background. The duck is a magazine freebie stamp, also coloured with Copics and fussy cut. They both have a die cut puddle to jump in. Papers are from Polkadoodles, the sentiment is stamped.
I used this sketch from Cheerful Sketches

My lovely teamies have been busy creating fabulous cards to inspire you so please hop over and take a look, then it's up to you to get creative and join the fun.

Thanks for visiting

Chris

It's a sweet image and pretty colours Chris but that Duck brings it all to life, love it.

Hamish (Alex's re-home yellow lab pup last year) has gone off for his little op this morning, expecting him home complete with lampshade and feeling sorry for himself. Needs must, he's a very big boy!

How clever to combine these images and give them both a puddle die cut - I've never seen one before but it is so effective. Great card.
