April Showers and Spring Flowers
Being Tuesday this is of course the title of the Stamp-n-Doodle challenge this week.
But actually its rather apt because as I was making the card, and now writing this post, the april showers are blowing their way over my garden – travelling in an almost horizontal fashion as the winds are so strong. And my poor spring flowers, the lovely scented broom and almost opened poppy are taking a real battering !!!
A stark contrast to the brilliant blue skies (and chilly breeze) we had for the last week of the easter half term.
Onto the challenge, pop on over to the Stamp-n-Doodle blog to see more inspiration for this week and see how my team member have interpretted April Showers and/or April Flowers.
Ive dithered over these two photos for hours, the top one is a truer colour, but the one below shows the glossy accents off. Easiest thing was to put both on (sorry for duplicating).
I used Ranger glossy accents as a finishing touch over the bird and the flowers to give the impression they had just been in an april shower.
Thanks for coming to take a look.

Claire having looked at your layout I would say the best thing would be for you to post comments as replies the way yours is laid out is very clear. All you would have to do is make comments, after all that is all a reply is. If you want to name someone specifically you just use their name. Not everyone checks on the replies anyway and once your blog is up in the hundreds (not me either!!) you won't physically be able to reply. My settings are just straightforward eg. comments choose hide or show obviously choose show. Allow adult content?? NO that kind of thing xx let me know by fb msg if we not friended yet just send request and you can msg me Vee xx
