Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my April Showers Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the cute digital stamp Avery in Rain Poncho.
April showers really does bring May flowers! May is here and the flowers are blooming! So, I couldn’t resist colouring Avery in her sweet rain poncho and her little friend with my Copic markers! I have had her coloured for a long time sitting on my desk waiting to be placed on the perfect card and I thought Spring is the perfect time for her!
For my card, I decided to create a circular card instead of my typical square/rectangle ones. A circular card suited the Sending Flowers Dies with its vignette of tulips and flowers in the bright spring colours. The Pleased as Punch DSP with the raindrops was perfect for my background of my card. I added a few more raindrops with the Glitter and Clear Epoxy Shapes to make the rain sparkle. More sparkle was added with the rhinestones in the flowers centers. I added Glossy Accents to her boots since all goloshes are wet from splashing in puddles!
