Crafty Calendar Challenge - April Showers Bring Forth May Flowers

Good Morning

and what a lovely sunny morning it is too.

Today's card is my entry into the Crafty Calendar Challenge.


The image is one from the SWALK range, which I stamped onto watercolour card and coloured using watercolour pencils. I added some glossy accents to the puddle, rain drops and top of the umbrella.

The oval she is sat on is cut using a Nellie Snellen die, cut out of gold pearlescent card. The papers used are printed from the SWALK cd-rom. I cut four corners using a Marianne die and added a tiny pearl to each corner. I punched the centre strip with a Martha Stewart border punch. A few mulberry flowers (May flowers :o) ) and punched leaves were added to complete the card.

I hope you have a lovely Saturday.
