Hello, Stampers! It’s time for another challenge using our much-loved older stamps! Are you ready? First of all, I hope you all got a chance to see the beautiful submissions for the last challenge – they were fantastic! Congrats to the Fab Five! Now, on to today’s card – the theme of which is April Showers. (My challenge should have been April Snow Showers though, since we had a solid week of it up till Sunday night!) I found Million-Dollar Moments (it was a Host stamp in the Occasions back in 2013) in my stash! When I saw the stamp with the flowers, I knew that was going to be on my card somehow or another. Then I went through the sentiment stamps I had and found Feel Goods (it also debuted in the 2013 Occasions Catalog but was carried over and is still available in the annual catalog). It was the perfect one to go with the card I had in my head. I hope you get the meaning of my card – explaining it will be difficult – but I have someone who tirelessly helps those in need and this card will be perfect to give her.

This is so cool! Love it!!
I love this, all the details are very cool, I really love the embossed background and the clouds / sun cluster. Cx
Super cute card!
Something tells me that your friend can make flowers out of rain drops… so cool. Love the card, Debbie, and so will she. Lots of fussy cutting but ever so worth it! My favorite detail is the sun peeking out of the clouds (and the sequin trim where part of it peeks out from beneath the sentiment). Off to pin….
I love the textures on this card but mostly – I love the image – for some reason whenever I see it – I see Mary Poppins! You know how to add such lovely details to make a card stand out!
What a wonderful card. I love the sentiment especially. I also think of Mary Poppins–perhaps it is that lovely lady and her umbrella. Thanks so much for having me as Guest Designer.
