April Showers

We had thunderstorms the whole time I was making this card.  That is one of the advantages of crafting, you can become lost and absorbed in whatever world you want to be in.  I chose sunny and happy over thunder and lightning. 

This week Sassy Cheryl's Challenge is Bold and Bright.  Nothing bolder than red and nothing brighter than yellow so here is my take on the challenge.  My diligent, sassy, little gardener is called "April Showers" and you can get her here.  I love springtime.  Watching the flowers pop up out of those brown weeds in my pots surprises me every year. I just bought this yummy ribbon and was dying to use it and I am so pleased with how "happy" the card turned out to be. I popped another ladybug and my favorite daisy on the top of the card just because I love daisies and wanted to use it.  Whatcha think?  Too much? 

I colored this with my Copics and laughed when I counted how many I used for this little bit of coloring. (25)  I used some Stickles on the polka dots and paper glaze on the water and the water droplets.  The Celebrate ladybug ribbon is from Michaels and the Pure Color red and black polka dot ribbon was from AC Moore.  The border punch was a Martha Stewart and then I used my Scalloped Circle Nestibilities.  The red cardstock is Stampin Up and the Yellow Checked paper is from the Stella and Rose collection at My Mind Eye.  Grab a digi and join in the fun.  What better thing is there to do than to spend a rainy day coloring?  (OK, besides napping )

Have a blessed week full of sunshine and flowers!
