Happy Spring with a TicTacToe

Today, I'm playing with Double Trouble Challenge Blog #26, as well as The Joy of Sets #004. Double Trouble asks for water to celebrate (shower) or rain. An additional prompt is to add a bumbershoot or umbrella. Then, we can also add what we've created to The Joy of Sets if we use a row of their TicTacToe board.
I selected to use rain, but of course to celebrate spring as well. I do love umbrellas and I've always wished to have pretty rain boots like these. The images and sentiment come from a Penny Black set called April Showers.

Following the tic-tac-toe board, I added some lacy ribbon, some pretty flowers and pearls on the flowers and some of the raindrops. The background was blended with Distress Oxides and the images were colored with Copics.




Thanks for stopping by. I do enjoy any comments that you have time to leave for me!

    1. Wouldn't those boots be fun, Sue? I wish it would rain a bit more here just to justify such a purchase, LOL! Thanks!

  8. Love the coloring...I've always wanted "fancy" rainboots, too. I've learned that people in Western Washington really don't use umbrella's but they can be so bright and colorful. Thanks for ALWAYS being a Double Trouble participant!

    1. Oh,I love umbrellas too! They don't work well in wind though, maybe that's why? Thanks for the kind comment!
