Spring Showers

Evening everyone, this is my third post today please scroll down to see the others





To make this card I have used an 8"x8" scalloped card blank, a piece of very pale blue organza with silver beady bits on it, two pieces of blue lace, two papers that were free with Cardmaking and Papercraft last summer (diary of an edwardian country lady I believe). My image is stamped out with a Magnolia stamp, coloured in with Promarkers and then glazed with Anita 3d glaze for the raindrops and puddles. The greeting is from a Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Stamp Set and I absolutely love this one. I have then used some baby blue flowers and one pink flower with some pink and lilac ribbon that I tied in to a bow and curled the ends of the ribbon with scissors.

I would like to enter this card in to the following challenges,
Happy Daze Challenge - April Challenge - April Showers
Oldie But A Goodie Challenge - April Showers (the papers and the material have been in my stash for ages)
Passion For Promarkers Challenge Blog - Week 143 - Theme - Whatever The Weather  
I Love Promarkers Challenge Blog - Challenge # 111 - Springtime
Willow Sketchie Challenge Blog - Challenge 5th April - Sketch or Lots Of Layers theme (I have gone with the theme)

Allsorts Challenge Blog -  Week 149 - Colour Bingo (I have gone for Green, Ribbon or Lace & Pink)

Especially like the rain drops & puddle. Here in Central TX we had lots of rain this afternoon on this Easter Sunday. Hubby got the cantaloupe & green peppers planted in time before the rain started.
