The Paper Players #780

It can be challenging when a challenge comes along that has the same theme for a card you made earlier and you don't want to use the same products again.  That's how it was for Leanne's theme of April Showers at The Paper Players when I had already used my boots and umbrella dies.  They call it a challenge for a reason and it took me two days to think of something but I persevered and this is what I came up with.


I started with an MFT rain stencil and Frostbite paste from Simon Hurley on PTI Spring Rain cardstock.  While that was drying I cut from flowers from the Garden Party set from Spellbinders birthday kit and some grass from Gina Marie.  The sentiment is from Stampendous cut with a PFS label die.  For a finishing touch, I added Glossy Accent raindrops to the flowers.

Thanks for dropping by and spending a bit of your day with me.

The exact same thing happened to me, rain boots and all, when I made my card for this challenge : ) Your two days of thinking paid off with a super cute spring card, love the embossing paste raindrops and the sweet colors on the flowers. Thanks for playing along with us at The Paper Players!
