April Showers bring May Flowers....

And that can happen anytime soon!  After having our mid April snow I am so ready to move on to April showers and even more happy to move on to May Flowers.  I was looking up what I can actually plant this month so I'm looking forward to getting the garden ready to go, and hopefully get some things planted this weekend.  Yay!  I love getting my hands in the dirt! 

I watched this video by  Kelly Latevola on the Simon Says Stamp blog today. I was first thinking no way am I going to play with bleach.  That just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.  But then I actually  watched the video and there was no bleach involved, just water.  So here is my take on the technique and this weeks Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge.  


For a first go, I don't think it turned out badly.  The paper did get a little bend from heat embossing, the water technique worked well, I do think I'll go a little darker with the copics for more contrast.  The do tend to blend more as the paper dries.  

Thanks so much for stopping by and have an awesome week!
