Hello Crafty Peeps,
April has definitely brought us some rain here, but we now have a horrible spring snowstorm! Ugh. That's spring weather in Saskatchewan for you though.
This week's theme at The Paper Shelter is April Showers Bring May Flowers, so you may create something related to rain, flowers or both,
I have chosen to go for the rain theme using "My Hair", as it's such a fun image. I also have a set of dies that I bought in a destash that I've never used before, that are perfect as raindrops!
This is the first time I have done a rain scene! I coloured the image first, then used the rain colours all over to soften it and make it look like shes actually getting wet.
I searched for rain-inspired sentiments and thought this one worked perfectly
I never decorate the inside of cards but I thought this one definitely needed to open up to a rainbow!
Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments are always appreciated.
Please come and join in our challenge this week and remember, you can use any image but if you use a Paper Shelter image you are eligible for a higher value prize!

An unusual but LOVELY card with those die cut raindrops. Such a cute image - beautifully coloured and the way you drew the rain is so effective.
