April Showers

It's time for another challenge over at 
Addicted to CAS.


It's Shana's turn to choose our challenge and she chose....


I was stumped for a while.

The first two attempts didn't turn out well at all.

Then I saw this card by Darnell.

I happened to have a NBUS Cheerful Critters stamp set.

And it all came together.

Whew!

I used my Lil' Inkers Stitched Square die to emboss
and cut a circle with the stitched circle die for the umbrella .

I just followed the triangles to cut the bottom of the umbrella.

The little chick was paper pieced.

Finally, I added some tiny rhinestones for "raindrops".

 We have a super new Guest Designer at ATCAS.
Be sure to check out Pia's (Pia's Creative World).


I can go to Simon Says Monday Challenge again

Simon Monday Challenge Blog

A is for...... April Showers


And Simon Says Wednesday Challenge

April Showers and/or Spring Flowers

Also, Virginia's View Challenge

There's are layers of the chick and dimension with the umbrella and "raindrops".


I can't wait to see what showers you come up with.

Don't forget to share them with us at ATCAS!

I'm so glad you stopped by today.

Enjoy!

    What an adorable card Bonnie! I think it is perfect for the challenge. Love that little chick with his umbrella. I rain drops are perfect too, don't you wish it would sprinkle some rhinestones once in a while? Too cute! Hugs, Brenda
