Mists, Drizzles and Showers!

Happy April everyone. You knew our Dreamweaver Challenge during April had to have something to do with showers, right! Hopefully April will offer a lot of sunshine and warm weather too, but we definitely need some April showers for the May flowers.

We hope you will create something for our April challenge and link it on the DREAM it UP! blog using the Mr. Linky tool, or email a picture of it to lynell@dreamweaverstencils.com and she will post it for you. You might win a great prize!

My first post for April, shoos the showers away! I really need some sunshine and warmth for a few days at least.

Umbrella, Rain, and Rain Words
LG737, LJ905, LG738

This card is really very simple:

• Tape the Umbrella stencil (LG737) to white cardstock with removable tape
• Use a palette knife and paste spreader to apply Glossy Red Embossing Paste (DGRP)
• Remove the stencil and place in water for cleaning
• Let the paste dry
• Place the clean dry stencil face down on back of decorative paper and trace the umbrella openings with a pen or pencil
• Cut out the umbrella pieces just outside the outline (so the line still shows)
• When the paste is dry, use liquid glue to attach the paper pieces to the appropriate opening of the pasted umbrella
• Lay the Rain stencil (LJ905) over the umbrella image and use a 1/4" stencil brush and light blue ink to stencil some raindrops in the background
• Use a clear glitter pen to add a little sparkle to the raindrops
• Stencil the "Rain, Rain, Go Away" words from the Rain Words stencil (LG738) on white cardstock using a 1/4" stencil brush and red ink
• Mount in layers using coordinating cardstock
