Showers of Love

Good Morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a great week and you have fun plans for the weekend! Did you have a chance to check out all the excitement for Day 1 of the Mad Tea Party Joint Release from Simply B Stamps and Little Miss Muffet Stamps? This is a party you don't want to miss!  If you are looking for my Day 1 post, please click here and leave a comment for a chance to win a great prize!  Be sure to check out both company's blogs today for a list of the Day 2 events and prizes!  I'm not one of the participants today, but I'll be back tomorrow with something fun for Day 3.  Hope to see you then!

I am here with my DT post for this week's Copic/ProMarker Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is "April showers".  You can interpret the theme as you wish, but please remember you must have some coloring with alcohol markers (any brand) to enter the challenge.

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are GKD Turquoise Sea and the patterned paper is from the Authentique Spring 6x6 pad.  My adorable image is Looks Like Rain Xandra from MayzyArt.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Turquoise Stickles to her jewelry, button and all the little drops around her umbrella. I added Diamond Stickles to the lacy edge of both skirts and her gloves.  The sentiment is from the Friends Are Your Umbrella set from Create With TLC.  You can find the set in Paulette's store here.  I cut out a little umbrella with my Cameo and added a bunch of little raindrops that I cut out of aqua glitter paper.  Three Wild Orchid Crafts Sweetheart Blossoms finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:


Thank for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Copic/ProMarker Challenge and check out the wonderful creations from the rest of the DT!  We hope you find time to play along with us!  This month's challenges are being sponsored by Whimsy Stamps!  One randomly-selected participant in the April challenges will win 5 digistamps of their choice from the Whimsy Stamps store!   As always, there are also lots of other fabulous prizes up for grabs when you enter the challenges at The Outlawz!

Sketch Saturday #252 (sketch)
