April Showers Bring May Flowers

Hello everyone. Hope your weekend is one filled with love and hapiness!!

I wanted to do a little experimenting with some of my newer crafting items partnered with some of my old forgotten ones.

The newer items are my Spectrum Noir markers and my Gelly Roll pens.
The old and neglected items are the stamps, stamp pads and my Nate's ABCs cartridge.

I stamped the frame background stamp, then stamped the leaves. I tried to color the flower and heart stamps with my markers then stamp them but I just couldn't get the color I wanted so I colored them in instead.

I cut the umbrella, puddle, boots and reeds from Nate's ABCs in blue (the base is all one piece). Then the umbrella top from light purple and the reeds from pale green. To get the boots and umbrella to match the background I colored them with my markers. The raindrops are hand drawn with my Gelly Roll pen.

It started to rain when I was taking this picture so there are real ones, too. lol

*Card base 5.5 x 4.25 in.
*Card front frame background stamp from Close To My Heart.
*Umbrella, boots, puddle and reeds cut at 2.75 in. from the Cricut Nate's ABCs cartridge.
*Umbrella top embossed with stars from the Cuttlebug Skyward Set.
*Spectrum Noir markers #TB2, #TB3, and #TB9 to color boots and umbrella.
*Thank you sentiment from Stamp Francisco.
*Stamp pads from CTMH Tempting Turquoise and Green Chiffon.
*Raindrops made with Gelly Roll pen.
