Patsmethers was kind enough to let me know about the next challenge and invited me to play along. The theme is rain and no pink. Wow, you never really realize how much you depend on pink until you don't want to use it. lol.
I love stampavie images and this was a perfect time to break out these stamps and ink them up. the sideways rain comes from an old SU set "scenery set" and it's actually embossed with a la mode. Lucky for me I found a matching prisma colored pencil for the drops. The background aqua paper is a gift from Jodi, it was perfect for this project and even though I wanted to hoard it away, I enjoyed using it so much, thanks Jodi
My little snail is explaining to the ladybug that "April showers bring May flowers." So it's all good.
