April Showers


Well have you had fun seeing all the fabulous creations this week at Flourishes?  These sets are SO great.  And today's is one of my favourites! It's so sweet, so full of spring and such great images!


I'm crazy about these boots!  I'd totally wear rain boots like this!  :)  I love the leaf theme in the boots so I gave them some deep green and yellow with my Copics and then some touches of coral in the tulips to match this dp from Basic Grey Curio paper.  


Then the part I love the most, a little puddle of water from playing in the rain.  I added a drop of re-inker to some Crystal Effects on a plastic lid, mixing it up with a toothpick and then adding it to the design with the toothpick after everything else was finished.  Then I left it to dry for quite a while.  I love how shiny  - just like water  - it is on and in front of the boots.  

The brads are Basic Grey Curio as well, and the ruffled ribbon is silk placed on strips of Scor Tape.  

The girls on the Design Team have some fantastic projects to show you today....

    You are so right about the set. I am going to buy a pair of rain boots this weekend because they're on sale at Target and I need them in WY. Here in AZ it's a joke. Your card is perfect!
