Today we’re going Around the World on Wednesday with April Showers bring May Flowers. On this our 4th Anniversary Hop, we are sharing this fun theme with you.
Thinking on this 4 year Anniversary theme of April Showers and May Flowers, I immediately thought of the Playing in the Rain Papers. The Designer Series Paper offers both flowers and umbrellas, which I knew would make for a cutie little card.
I wanted a soft feel to this card that I cut from Soft Sea Foam to fit a Slimline Envelope. Adding an embossed layer of Raindrops, I sandwiched a layer of vellum between.
Our new Radiating Stitches Dies available through our Online Exclusives, fitted perfectly around these cute flower images. Fussy cutting three umbrellas with my Paper snips, I elevated them on Dimensions over top of the flowers. This makes the flowers appear in the umbrellas themselves.
A scattering of tiny white flowers, a crinkled white ribbon bow and linen thread bow and my card was ready for a sentiment.
Sometimes a smile is all that’s needed for a friend, so this card is heading it’s way down under to a dear friend in Australia. Today, my inspiration is quite literally going Around the World on Wednesday to find itself on the other side of the world. When April Showers strike, a smile can often be all that’s needed.
Consider taking yourself around the world today and heading over to Canada to see what my dear friend Annette has created. Happy 4th Anniversary Annette, here’s to many more hops together and a heap more inspiration shared.
Thank you for hopping by today …. Enjoy the rest of the hop and all of the inspiration throughout.
