Inspiration Station: April Showers

Hello and Happy Monday!  I trust your Easter was lovely and you spent an enjoyable day with family and friends.  Today begins a new bi-weekly challenge at The Inspiration Station and the photo prompt this round is:


This is a bright and colorful photo prompt that can be intrepreted in so many ways.  You coud go with colors, a rainbow, anything water related, rainy days, Wellies, Unbrellas, etc.  

I've chosen to go with a Rain theme for my design team project.  Using the "Under the Weather" digital stamp by Lily of the Valley, I've created a standard A2 sized card with a message of encouragement.


I've colored the image using Spectrum Noir Illustrator Alcohol Markers and die cut the focal panel with a nesting postage stamp die from Catherine Pooler.  The Polka Dot paper is a snippet left from another project and the sentiment is from a very old Scrapbooking Queen Stamp set.


The sentiment was die cut with a nesting circle die from Hero Arts and popped on craft foam for dimension.  To finish the card, faux blue gems from Kat Scrappiness were added for additional interest and sparkle.

Please join the team at The Inspiration Station this round.  There's a sweet little stamp set on offer and we would love to see your inspired projects.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Paper Funday Challenge - April 2022 Challenge

Hello and Happy Wednesday!  Today begins a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog.  Our themes are Always Anything Goes with an Optional Twist; the twist this month is:  April Showers. 

We have 2 wonderful prizes for 2 lucky winners - Jan's Digi Stamps is a sponsor and a Gift of 3 digital images from Lee Holland Art will also be awarded (winners choice of images).

For my design team project, I've used one of the newest image sets released for April from Jan's Digi Stamps:  Best Wishes.  


I've colored the image with alcohol markers and die cut the panel with a fancy die, then mounted on craft foam for dimension.  The designer papers are from the Kat Scrappiness "Hop Into Easter" 6x8 paper pack and the sentiment is from the Best Wishes Digital Set.


To complete the design, I've added lavender enamel dots that were purchased at the local Dollar Tree Store.  That's all for today Folks.  Please stop by the challenge and enter your projects, we would love to see them all.  

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Donna
