My
favorite scrapbook store, Scrapbook Creations, held a fundraiser for the March
Of Dimes on Saturday so several of us went to give our support. It was a fun day of stamping with friends and
door prizes. I was actually able to get
a good start on several projects.
House Mouse & Friends have a “Springtime” challenge this week and nothing says
spring more than showers and flowers. I
colored this sweet little guy with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, cut it out
with a Spellbinders’ circle die, and layered it on a Spellbinders’ Blossoms 3
die cut.
The
background is created with a Darice Crackle embossing folder, which I lightly
sanded. I used a combination of an EK Success Garden Flower Chain Large Edger Punch, Cheery Lynn’s Miniature Rose,
and yellow polka dot Shine On Basic Gray paper for the three floral strips in
the background.
I
used the following sketch from the Sketch Saturday challenge.
Well,
we are definitely having April showers (along with lots of thunder) so I better
finish up. I’ll be back soon.

What a coincidence!....I was just at a March of Dimes fundraiser last month! And I also got lots done, at first - until my kids came he he! But then I had lots of fun helping them create. They had a blast!
And I just bought that Darice EF you used on your card just the other day myself! Can't wait to try it out on something now! Cute card Marie!
What a cute little image, Marie! I love your take on the three lines from the sketch - really clever.
So cute. Love the color combo and that crackle embossing looks so cool.
Love the texture! Thanks for sharing with us at Craft Your Passion!
