“April showers bring May flowers,” and “APRIL” was created with Alphabet a La Mode Dies and Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Paper.
To give the letters dimension, I cut a piece of Foam Adhesive Sheet the same size as the Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Paper, adhered them together, placed the letter dies on top of the specialty paper, and ran them through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine. Then, I removed the letters, leaving the backing intact until I was ready to attach them to the card front. I used a ruler across the card front to keep the letters even.
April Showers
When I heard that Pretty Peacock was a returning color to Stampin’ Up’s! core colors, I was excited to use it. We were given a sneak peek of its return, because it appears in this Hello Irresistible Designer Paper, an “online exclusive,” that is available now.
The pattern I chose for today’s card looks like a cloudy sky (4″ X 5 1/4″), and I added rain with the Raindrops Embossing Folder. This embossing folder happens to be my gift for the month of April, with details below.
Next, I used Chic Dies to cut five flowers from another section of Hello Irresistible Designer Paper, and centers from the Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Paper. Two flowers were glued flat, and three were attached with Dimensionals.
The sentiment, “You make each season of life even more beautiful,” is from the Season Of Chic Stamp Set. I stamped it in Pretty Peacock Ink, used a Deckled Rectangles Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals.
