Whimsical Wednesday Challenge

Hello and welcome to another Whimsical Wednesday Challenge. I would like to Thank Stephanie for allowing me to be a part of this incredible challenge blog and team. If you are new to Whimsical Wednesdays we have a scrapbooking challenge the first Wednesday of every month, and then other paper crafting projects each Wednesday for the rest of the month. This week our challenge is April Showers bring May flowers. We were asked to use at least one of the following elements: umbrella, rain boots, rain drops or flowers. Well if you have been to my blog lately, FLOWERS are on my mind! So here is my take on the challenge.

I really had a lot of fun with this card! I chose to put flowers in my umbrella. I cut my umbrella twice from the Sweetheart Cartridge. I taped the sides and edges of the umbrella so I can stuff it with tissue paper to puff it up. It made is easier to stuff my little flowers inside.  I made my flowers with strips of plain white paper and inked them. My choice of paper colors for my base of the card is my parent's high school colors: Purple, Yellow/Gold and white. Obviously this is for my Mom ~ she really needs some extra love right now. I also used Emma's, My Creative Time,  "Mom You Rock" stamps set. I LOVE this stamp set... okay I LOVE them ALL.

This week our challenge is being sponsored by the AMAZING Emma over at My Creative Time and has generously donated her stamp set "Mom You Rock" for the giveaway. I was so thrilled that I chose to use this stamp set for my project. Please be sure to hop over to the Whimsical Wednesday blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has created for your inspiration. I am sure their projects are amazing and inspiring.
