April Showers is the current Challenge theme at Shopping Our Stash – Create a card that features a *Shower* element … rain, umbrella, rainbow, clouds, puddles or a Baby Shower or Wedding Shower card.
I truly shopped my entire stash trying to find an umbrella. Turns out, it's apparently not something that attracts me when I buy stamps. I finally found one in Essentials by Ellen Bear Wear, so I continued to shop my Essentials by Ellen stash to build a little scene.
I started it by die cutting the Essentials by Ellen Birch Trees Cover Plate from a copper gelli print and attaching it to a scrap of blue designer paper from my scrap stash. Since I built my card without really thinking where it was going to end-up, I realized after attaching the trees to the paper that I needed some raindrops to go with my Umbrella, so I used a stamp from Essentials by Ellen Organic Elements with some light blue ink.
I stamped & die cut the Bear from Essentials by Ellen All Inside together with his cute little chickie friend from Essentials by Ellen Sweet Spring Stamp & Die Combo.
I added some early spring blooms from Essentials by Ellen Nature Walk Stamp & Die Combo. I finished with a rose foiled sentiment from Essentials by Ellen Way with Words and a few cut clouds before attaching to a yellow card base.
I'm also joining the Crafting Happiness Rainy Weather Challenge.
And the Double D Challenge is celebrating all things related to April Showers.
