April Showers

It's time for another challenge over at 


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

A is for...... April Showers

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!
