Hello, hope all is well with you today.
With all the April Showers challenge themes are going on, I wanted to play since we've had a really wet Spring here along with most everyone else and this would be a good card theme. Hunting through my digi stamp files I found two cute little pre-colored girl images in my Free Dearie Dolls digi folder. I thought they could be the same girl or close enough and the colors matched well, too. I paired them with a Stamplorations umbrella stamp (stamped with Nocturne Versafine Clair and clear-heat-embossed) that I colored with Promarkers. The girls and flowers are so similar, so I thought, why not? This is a birthday card going to a girlfriend who has a young granddaughter, so I thought she'd like it.
I used this Splitcoaststampers sketch for my layout design, resizing it to a 6x9" card. I didn't like the tag elements so I just made them rectangles.
I used a 9x12" sheet of white Dick Blick tag board for my card base and designer papers from DCWV Flower Stack pad, which is quite old and no longer sold. I also used a few of my very old Prima Sprite paper flowers and a couple of yellow brads. As I was sizing and framing the girl images in PSE, I added the sentiments with my text tool, and I made a blank frame with sentiment to stamp the umbrella in after printing out.
I also created and framed the inside sentiment with PSE and layered it on some of the DCWV paper I used on Front.
On back, still more of the DCWV paper as per the front, with a stamped and circle-punched siggie I colored with Promarkers.
And final view.

From this angle you can see that I edged each image with blue glitter using a Wink of Stella glitter brush, for extra little interest. The middle one came out lighter because I'd used a Spectrum Noir glitter marker on it first but didn't like it so I used the Wink over it, then I did the outside images. I guess the Spectrum Noir's glitter showed through lighter. Since it was the center image, no problemo! 😉
Hope your weekend has been nice and thanks so much for visiting!

I love this Aimeslee - it tells a story. We've had dreadful weather her in South Wales but slowly the days are getting dryer and the sun occasionally shines.

These ladies and their umbrellas are fun. I really like how you added the umbrella panel in the middle. We have April showers coming in this weekend, and sounds like they'll last a few days. In a way I'm happy because it will make me feel less like I need to be out in the yard. In another way I really want to finish up these pre-garden chores so I can start planning my planting-the fun part. hugs-Erika

Aimslee what a clever idea to use 2 Dearie Doll images for your card. This really captures the spring her in the US (also the world). Thanks for linking up with us over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenge. Best of luck, Jana Forrest DT
