Hello there. Cardz 4 Galz has started a new challenge. Sue J is hosting, and she has chosen the theme of:
April Showers
Here is my card:

I decided to go slimline with this card to get more umbrellas on there, so I created the background panel using a Clearly Besotted stencil, Versamark ink, and silver embossing powder. I had to move the 6 x 6 inch stencil to cover all the background panel – but it worked out well.
The rainbow umbrellas were created using a Spellbinders die set, ink blending a slightly darker colour for the under-side of each umbrella, and adding the lacy layer – ink blended to be slightly darker – for a little more interest and dimension.
The sentiment is from an older Avery Elle stamp set – stamped then cut into a rectangle.

I hope you can come and join us with your creations following our theme. xx
I shall be entering the following challenges:
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends – anything goes
Addicted to Stamps & More – die cuts and/or stencils (both used)
Ellibelle’s Corner I Spy – Spring flowers or Spring showers



This is such a fun card! I love your fun background, your umbrellas, and how you inked them!

That’s so pretty! I thought your background was patterned paper at first glance – clever idea to use silver embossing powder for the raindrops! Thanks for playing along with us at ATSM
