If Only It Would Rain!

Here in England we are experiencing a distinctly unseasonal April, no showers. The garden is dry and we used all the water in the water butt a couple of weeks ago. Normally at this time of year there would have been a lot more rain. It is not looking good for the early crops in the field, where there should be green sprouts there is bare earth. So the image for the Scrapper's Delight Facebook Challenge this month is somewhat apt.

SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES

Materials used:Scrapper's Delight - Rainy Days 1
X-Press It card
red, yellow and black card
A5 card blank
Copic pens

The image and sentiment are printed on X-Press It card and coloured with Copic pens. Having been trimmed to the required size they are matted onto black card.

The front of the card base is covered with a slightly smaller piece of yellow card, then a strip of red card added, offset from the  middle.

The image and sentiment are attached as shown.
Although it is lovely to have sunny days in April I think it is time for a change, a few April showers before May starts would be good and the tadpoles would love it too!

Thanks for dropping in. Take care.

Pippa

    Fabulous card Pippa. She is just wonderful. No rain here either. Hardly any over the last 12 months. Desperately need it for the crops and garden.
    Have a lovely weekend.

    Pippa, maybe your wonderful card will get the rain started. Your card design puts the emphasis right were it should be, on your amazingly colored image. Thanks so much for joining us over at The Little Red Wagon this week!
