Cutie Pie Challenge Blog – April Showers Bring May Flowers

Hello, how are things?  The weather here in the UK has gone down the gurgler a bit! Hopefully it will return to sunnier skies soon. My fingers are crossed!

Today begins a brand new challenge at the Cutie PieChallenge Blog and our theme this fortnight is April Showers Bring May Flowers, so that’s a creation showcasing a CUTE image with showers or flowers!

This time we are sponsored by Crafty Ribbons, who are offering this to our lucky winner!

 I decided to use one of my inherited Tildas (for convoluted explanation please see my post here)  as I thought she would be perfect for the ‘April Showers’ part of the challenge!

I do love my die-cut flowers so I had to add those! And with the gorgeous patterned paper from LOTV that takes care of the ‘May Flowers’ part too!

Ingredients:

Stamps: ‘Tilda in Spring Rain’ – Kanban sentiment

Dies:  Tonic ovals and scalloped ovals & leaves – Heartfelt Creations ‘Delicate Asters’ & ‘Daisy Patch’

Paper/Card: American Crafts – watercolour card – LOTV ‘Always and Forever’ patterned and ‘Solids’

Colouring/Ink: Versafine Black - Inktense Pencils

Others: Creative Expression ‘Sheer Wrinkled Edge’ Ribbon in Rose - Mini paper roses & gems from stash

Pop over to the Cutie Pies blog to see the gorgeous rainy and floral cuteness created by my teamies.

Thanks so much for looking and for leaving such nice comments! You are all too kind!

See ya!

Colourful hugs
