Sunshine, Showers, Flowers

and Rainbows!

I have been thinking about some of the challenges relating to April showers and then the other afternoon we had both sun and rain together and from the front of the house we could see a beautiful rainbow against the dark threatening sky!  The spark of an idea!

I started this card by creating a rainbow background using ProMarkers and their Letrajet system.  Haven't used it in ages so not the most even coverage!

I took the sketch from MFT and worked with that.  Thanks to a short class at MCC I am rediscovering my Spellbinders Mix + Match Edgeabilities so I used those on the strip at the left side.  I intended to thread ribbon up through the cut strip but completely forgot until it was well stuck down so my bow had to be under my flower rather than stemming from that panel.  I coloured my lady with Prismacolor pencils and Zest and paper-pieced her umbrella with some sunny flowery paper.  The sentiment and image are both from MFT.

I hope you like my card - I must admit I think it does bring in some sunshine!  I am entering it in the following challenges (more than usual for me I know)

MFTWSC120 - Sketch
