April Showers

April Showers

This is my first ever entry into an Our Daily Bread Challenge (ODBDSLC235) -- finally got some of their great stuff in order to be able to play along (ok, this one I borrowed from a friend, but I have more, I promise!) ...

The background is sponged with a combo of Distress Inks in pistachio, pine and bundled sage to create a spring look, then die cut from my MFT Blueprint 13 stitched die. The ODBD sentiment was stamped in VersaMark and embossed using white powder. My tulips were cut from a Penny Black die, first in green, then from watercolor papers I had sponged in either Pickled Raspberry/Marmalade or Marmalade/Mustard Seed/Fired Brick and popped up with Joy! Foam pads. The smaller flowers are from a Martha Stewart hydrangea punch from designer papers and hand cut stems. I popped up the larger ones and shaped the tiny one, then added pink and green rhinestones.

  2. I love it! Great choice in background colors - it makes your flowers really pop and white embossing is always classy. Thanks for playing along with this week's Shining the Light Challenge. ;)
