This weekend, I had the joy of crafting with my people at Gather in Waunakee, Wisconsin. We took a little road trip to Creative Pals 30th Anniversary Celebration, where I picked-up this fun Umbrella Bloom Die by Spellbinders.
It was perfect for Inspired by … April Showers, May Flowers Challenge.

I tried using the three colors, but a green background/rainy sky seemed a bit odd when I tried it, so I ended-up swapping it for a blue piece of 49th and Market background paper (the solids remind me of my first love, BasicGrey).

I finished with a sentiment from Kristina Werner Everything Will Be Okay Stamps & Dies.

I’m also linking-up at the Inkspirational Word Prompt Rain.
