April Showers...then flowers!

Good morning!  Today should be a good one, with a some lovely warm temperatures....kind of like what we had in March. (lol)  I've noticed a few daffodils flowering in my garden, and tulips will soon be there.  Now I just need to find some time to pull some of the pesky weeds.


Today's card uses an embossed card blank, to which I've added a bit of script and some DI.  The delightful image from Saturated Canary is called Rainy Day, and I've noticed it is very popular!  Coloured with copics, I've added some glitter pen for the flowers on the boots and umbrella.  Just a wee bit of patterned paper peeking through, edged with some punched lace and a bow, and of course some pretty spring flowers. 

Supplies used:
Tools - Nestibilities Label 18 die, Whimsy Stamps Vines die
Paper - Wild Rose Studio Spring Fling
Flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts

Hope you enjoyed your visit, and can take away a few ideas.
