April

Happy Tuesday to you!

Oh how I wish the saying April Showers brings May Flowers held true here in North Dakota.  Yesterday we had SNOW again – it’s melted but there is a chance for more tonight.  I would love a bit of rain and give those tulips a chance to bloom – I’m crossing my fingers as the weatherman is forecasting a nice Easter!

Today one of the new release images at Bugaboo Stamps is April, please stop by Catch the Bug for more inspiration – I always find it amazing how one image can look so different depending on the artist using it!

I used Kraftyhand’s Sketch Challenge for my card – it’s a bit different and you know how I enjoy a new layout 🙂

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Dee

Welcome to From the Heart Stamps’ Sketch #013!

Today it is a dreary, rainy day here and so I thought I’d make a card to reflect the mood here.  On the bright side – at least it isn’t snowing 🙂

Sketch: From the Heart Stamps

Image:Drenched – From the Heart Stamps

Paper: Puddle Jumpin – Nitwit Collections Digi Paper, Vellum

Sentiment: Heart-to-Heart #6 – PaperTrey Ink

Dies: Circle and Rectangle – Spellbinders

Coloring Medium: Copics

Embellishments: Pearls, Stickles, Raindrop Stickers

Technique: Paper Piercing

This card could easily have a April Showers sentiment or a Spring sentiment but I went with a Get Well theme as I don’t make that type of card very often.

I hope I’ve inspired you to join in on this fun sketch at From the Heart Stamps.  I can’t wait to see your interpretation of the sketch!  Dee

It’s a dreary, windy day today and it feels like a spring rain is on the way.  At least it’s rain and not snow like the western part of the state is getting!

This image from Designed 2 Delight is just perfect for a springtime card – best part is the sentiment is also included when you purchase the image.
