DD - April Showers!



Hello Hello!

It's the 15th of the month so time for another Duel, This month's theme from Barb for (the Divas) and Tracie (for the Darlings) is April Showers.

I made two cards with this month's kit. The first card (above) was the first card I made, I colored the Whipper Snapper image in with my prisma & copic markers. for some reason I wasn't really happy with the finished card, so I got to work on a second card (below) which is colored with Prismacolor Pencils and gamsol. I like this one better for sure :)  I think the colors are a little more vibrant.


I am ready for spring for sure! I was just in Denver where it got up into the middle 70's the last two days. While I am writing this post (Saturday evening) it's about 30 degrees and we have a Winter Weather Advisory as Mother Nature is bringing us ice, sleet and up to 6" of snow overnight. Yikes. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs ! LJ
