April Showers Bring... Rainbows! at The Paper Shelter

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!

Vintage Birthday at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

I don't know where time is going lately! I am definitely looking forward to spring coming though. The snow is getting boring now.

For this week's challenge at The Paper Shelter, our theme is FOR THE BOYS, which should give you lots of room for interpretation!

I have used a page from the 'Vintage Nostalgia' colouring book. There are several in there that are perfect for this theme, so be sure to have a browse!

As it's for a male birthday, I kept it very simple and just added a sentiment,
