April at Stamping Sensations

'April Showers Bring May Flowers' is our theme for this month's challenge at Stamping Sensations.
We are sponsored by the wonderful Be Creative who are offering a super prize for our chosen winner! More details on the challenge blog and just a gentle reminder please to read our rules FULLY before linking up with us - thanks!

This Crafty Individuals stamp was part of the pile that dear husband bought me at Christmas (has good taste doesn't he??? Or maybe it was because it was on the list of 'What Viv Wants'??!!)

Anyway,  it fitted for this months theme so at least I have now used it!

The stamp was coloured with Distress Inks.

The raindrops are a Creative Expressions Mini Stencil, sponged in white then clear embossed with Be Creatives Crystal Clear Embossing Powder.
Used a watercolour brush to blend some blue/grey inks across the sky.

The sentiment was masked for the front and inside - the whole thing reads 'Come Rain or Shine, Have a Wonderful Day '

Let's hope this month doesn't bring us TOO many showers!

Whilst you're linking up at the challenge blog  have a look what my teamies have done too - we love visitors and would appreciate you leaving us a comment!

Thanks for looking today! x

A lovely card Viv, the colouring looks so pretty. A good idea with the sentiment to carry it over to the inside.

Love the sky background and I must like the image as I have it too and you have done a fabulous job of colouring it. A really lovely card.
Must admit though that I was quite shocked when it arrived as to hw small it was.

The cottage garden and fence stamp by CI is a beauty and your colouring is gorgeous Viv, and the raindrops and sentiment complement it perfectly. x
