Double D - April Showers

 Dear Ones~

Another challenge is up over at Double D. This time the theme is April Showers.....how appropriate!! Here is the Mood Board for our inspiration:
And here is my sample:
I just adore this cute little gnome enjoying a spring rain with his mushroom umbrella. The raindrops really add a lot to this card, they are from Studio Katia and I love them. I did that background panel by taking some patterned paper and stenciling over it in GKD Tranquil Teal and Key Lime ink with a stencil by Crafter's Workshop called Mini Cell Theory. 
I also added some white with a gel pen.



Here's a closer look at that silly gnome. I paper pieced his hat with patterned paper from SU. I thought his nose needed some glossy accents. You can see those pretty iridescent raindrops better too.





 
The Ingredients:
Recollections Garden Greens Card Stock
GKD In the Navy Card Stock
SU Artistry Blooms and Garden Impressions Patterned Paper
Reverse Confetti Cheerful & Kind Patterned Paper
Crafter's Workshop Mini Cell Theory Stencil
GKD Tranquil Teal & Key Lime Ink
GKD Master Layouts 1 Dies for Ovals
SSS Spring Gnomes Stamp Set
Studio Katia Iridescent Raindrops

  8. This is so cute, Judy. I think there is something special about gnomes. At least the stamped ones. ;) Great idea to stencil over patterned paper. It's a great way to get a whole different look.
