April Showers

-
Today is a great day!  It's raining so a great excuse to craft ;) And I finally got my Tim Holtz distress markers!!!!  I was really excited about using them... so forget about the idea of emptying the wardrobe and changing the clothes... it's cold today anyway... so why put the summer clothes out right?!?  Who's with me on that... lol any excuse to craft instead!


So here's my card for this afternoon:
And of course my picture is crooked... :(  But I don't want to take the time to take another one because that will be cutting down craft time!  The beautiful digi image is April Showers from Paper cupcake.  I used my distress markers to color the dress and the umbrella.  I added liquid pearl for the bow and some glossy accent for the raindrop.  The doily is made with a quick cuts die.

I'm entering this one in the following challenges:
  1. Theres magic in the air - I cased Shirley's card they were all beautiful and the choice was hard...
  2. Crafty catz weekly challenge - Stripes or checks
  3. Clearly i stamp -Spring
  4. Crazy 4 challenges - Use black to make card pop
  5. Little miss muffet challenges- April showers
  6. Stamp and create blog - Spring
  7. Hippity with ippity - rain or showers
  8. The hybrid chick - spring
  9. Crafty sentiments - use a digi (I was sure I had entered... but I guess not)
I'm off to make another one ;)

    I so love this image too! You have done such a beautiful job creating with it and I really love the colours particularly the blue that pops from the other shades. I have yet to see the new TH Markers in person but they look like they colour beautifully. Thanks so much for joining us at TIMITA.

    Your card is really cute, great coloring. I have not seen the TH markers, but you have done a super job with them. Love the liquid pearls you used on the bow. I am with you, if it is cold outside, don't worry about getting the summer clothes out. :) Thanks so much for joining us in the Paper Cupcakes/There's Magic in the air.
