The Sun Will shine


Today at Double D we have the perfect theme for April
and it is April Showers water related!

We have all kinds of ideas for inspiration for you in our mood board below!


I have to admit I purposely purchased this stamp (Colorado Craft All Weather Friend) just for this challenge!
I also have to admit that I am totally addicted to this company
and you will surely see many more of their images here!


I used a raindrop stencil for the background
and stenciled with Versamark and a SNS Silver Detail
embossing powder.

I stamped the image on watercolor paper,
colored with my Tombows, then used the matching die to cut out.
The only thing is the stamped image had a couple of puddles
which the die does not include, co I fussy cut them out myself
and added them to the card.  The top of the umbrella was paper pieced
as it does come with a die just for that.
I learned a long time ago when a die is offered to grab it then
or you will certainly wish you had later!

Visit the Double D blog to see all the fun April Showers
the team has created for this challenge and join in with us!

What a cute card! That little bunny trying to stay dry under the colorful umbrella. Love the puddles too!

I never would have thought of this idea to use a stencil and make these amazing raindrops. Just think, they could be any color. I too am collecting the Colorado Craft stamps, I love them.

Sooooooo cute! You know I love it! I've been looking at these Anita Jeram stamps over and over, trying to pick something, but I can't decide! I have so much already, sigh. I love your rainbow umbrella, and your bunny coloring rocks. In total agreement about buying the matching dies. Hugs!

Oh I'm loving that board and I'm loving your card! Dare I say this but we could do with a little rain for the garden... It's been very dry but I fear that once the rain starts it may not stop. Hope you are dong okay... have a lovely week

This is so cute Diane and yes , Anita Jeram stamps are so adorable. I love them too and managed to purchase two of her adorable critter stamps in South Africa from a local craft shop - one of the best days of my life! Your design is so pretty with the colourful umbrella and the darling rabbit.
