STAMPOTIQUE DESIGNERS' CHALLENGE 143: APRIL SHOWERS

Happy Wednesday to each of you, and thanks for visiting my blog today.  The Stampotique Designers' Challenge has been posted and this week's challenge promises to shower you with creativity--pun intended.  The talented Carol Fox wants to see water, rain, showers, or stormy weather!  Here's her challenge today:
I love the early months of the year and to me I only have to hear the month April and instantly in my head the song from Bambie is playing and I am now humming, bom bom little April showers--so use water, rain and April showers as your inspiration this week.
I took a bit of artistic license in my interpretation of this challenge.   When I think of rain, showers, and storms, I think of how grateful I am to have refuge from them.  I have used the Stampotique Originals' Giant 'Shroom (3009) again, but this time with a little more reverence.  Seeking refuge here is Heart Boy (6026), accompanied by Daisy, Daisy (3002).

I hope you will participate this week--and every week--in the Stampotique Designers' Challenge.  You can read the rules and submit your work here.  At the end of the month, you will be entered into a random drawing for a chance to win one of two $30 gift certificates from Stampotique Originals for any of their products!

 Cheers!

    Love the way you made the contrast between background and main image! Something to think on when I'm a little bit without inspiration... Inky greetings, Gerrina
