The theme is April Showers bring May Flowers, we would like to see those flowers in bloom in either your image(s) or as embellishments, we also have a fab sketch for you to follow if you prefer.
If you are feeling really adventurous you can do both like I did, however I managed to cover up most of the sketch.
We have another great sponsor this week:
Joanna is offering the lucky winner a £10 voucher to spend in her online store
I have used the gorgeous Crafty Pad image - Flowers and Watering Can, this image was really lovely to colour, I used a selection of ProMarkers and FlexMarkers
The pretty papers are from one of my Bearly Mine Designs Designer Extreme CD's, full details of everything I have used are listed below.
I used raffia instead of ribbon to continue the garden theme and I have decorated the inside of my card to complement the front
