Hi everyone, it's challenge time again over at Crafty Cardmakers. Our latest challenge host, Tracey, has chosen the theme 'April Showers bring May Flowers'


Tracey said 'Hello friends. When I think of April, I am always reminded of the saying "April showers bring May flowers". For this challenge, I would like to see cards that include an image of something rain related and are embellished with at least2 flowers. Your image could be a child splashing in puddles, a person walking in the rain, ducks waddling through puddles, an umbrella, etc.'



Please ensure your creation has both something rain related, and a minimum of two flowers to qualify for a winner or Top 5 slot.

Here is my interpretation of the challenge, it is a card I made for my nieces birthday:



I have used a clear stamp from Pink Gem Designs, coloured with ProMarkers. The image was cut out and raised up using silicone glue to add dimension. I've added Stickles to the raindrops to make them sparkle. I made the background paper using a mask and Bundled Sage Distress Ink. The doily and flowers are cut using Marianne dies and the ovals with Spellbinders. A pretty ribbon, bow and soft pink pearls complete this girlie card.

Here is a close up of that lovely image:


Thanks for looking, now please go visit the challenge and see what my fabulous team mates have created. Why not give the challenge a go yourself?

I'll be back again soon, Sharon x
