April Showers

Good morning, card makers!  I hope you all had great weather and did something fun over the weekend in your corner of the world.  It's Shirley posting today and I was able to spend some time taking the dogs for a walk and visiting with family so I had a good weekend.

Today I have a card for our Rainy Days challenge this week.  I made my card thinking of the sunshine we get after the April showers.

I started my card by cutting the card base using the Poison Ivory Curious Metallic paper.  I cut my second layer from blue card stock.  I used another piece of Poison Ivory Metallic Paper for the final layer.

I cut clouds using the Puffy Clouds die by Memory Box.   I sponged the front side of my clouds with a light blue ink.  I turned the largest cloud over and used it for a template to sponge clouds on the Poison Ivory Metallic top layer, although they do not show up well in the picture.  

I used Impression Obsession Small Grass Border and cut three layers of grass from a piece of green scrap paper.  I adhered these together and added them to my card.  

My next step was to use an umbrella die from my stash to cut the umbrella frame. There is a new Spellbinders die called Umbrella Trio, which worked quite nicely. Just click on the thumbnail in the supplies listed at the end of this post. I used Simple Stories Vintage Bliss paper to put under the umbrella frame.  I adhered my umbrella frame to the paper using Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive.

I used yellow paper and a sun punch from my collection to cut the sun. I used a small circle punch and cut a circle to go in the center of it. I sponged it with orange ink and adhered them together.  I attached the sun and the umbrella to my card along with the sponged clouds.

I had a small space left to add a sentiment from the Our Daily Bread Designs Ornate Frame Sentiments.

Thank you for joining us today.  I hope you will grab your umbrella stamps and dies to make your card for our challenge!
