April Showers and Birthday Prize

Hi everyone, today starts a new challenge at Ruby's Rainbow

April Showers

Well,  at home yesterday we certainly had showers, of every description.

We had rain, hailstones and snow - all in one day, on and off, and it was so cold.

I am hoping all of my readers are in fairer and warmer weather today,

Back to the April Showers, please do pop over to the blog to check the details, 

and of course to see the wonderful inspiration from the DT. 

My card was  blended with a few of TH blue toned D. Inks. 

Stamped with a large sentiment stamp, with raindrops and umberellas

from Sheena Douglass. The girl in the raincoat is from a set of 

Stick Girls from Debbie Moore an old favourite of mine.

Two weeks ago was the 5th Birthday of Ruby's Rainbow,

Along with the blog and several of the Design Team we individually had

a prize to draw. Sadly whilst I had several comments on my blog, as was required, 

none are eligible to win the prize I have on offer.

I am so sorry for I would have been so happy to send this prize to a winner.

 A MONOCHROME project.

on this subject. I firstly blended with Distress Inks -

Tumbled Glass, then Broken China then finally Chipped Sapphire.

The moon was created with a Fiskars circle punch used as a mask.
