Flowers from the showers

    It's time for another challenge at The Kraft Journal and this week our theme is "April showers bring May flowers".  Considering we've been getting drenched just about every day since April started we should be over run with flowers this year.  LOL
     For my card I started with a base of Brown Kraft Cover Weight cardstock and matted it with some Bazzill and Buff Ivory Cover Weight cardstock.  The next two DP panels were matted onto more Bazzill and Brown Kraft.  The horizontal panel was cut from DP.  I added a punched edge to the bottom and straight edge to the top in Brown Kraft.  The DP is edged with Earthy Hemp Cord and I wrapped the whole panel in Natural Twill Tape.  The sentiment is more Brown Kraft and Bazzill.  The flower was punched from Brown Kraft and  inked with Vintage Photo Distress ink.  I added a button from my stash tied with Hang Tag String.  The butterfly was punched from Vellum and painted with Creative Inspirations paint.
     My image is from Digi Doodle Shop and was colored with Copics and Prismas.  I added Glossy Accents sprinkled with ultra fine glitter to her wings.

     The Scalloped Grungy Prim Tag tucks in behind the image.  I cut the string off, threaded some more twill tape through the hole and then used the string to tie it off.  The sentiment was printed onto Brown Kraft and added to the tag.

     Hope you can play along this week.  Don't miss your chance for a Top Three or Feature Me Friday spot plus your name will go into the hat for the monthly $15.00 voucher giveaway from Kraft Outlet every time you play.
