April Showers

I suspect you can tell I'm once again joining Rosie at Rosie's Kleine Bastelwelt (Rosie's Small Craft World) this month's host at Art Journal Journey.  Since her theme is Spring,

I couldn't let this month go by without sharing a bit of rain, something I seriously wish would fall where I live.

Here are a few step-out photos.

The sentiment reads "April showers bring spring flowers."

I created this in my Challenges altered book.  I began by laying down a sheet of card stock I found in my stash.  I edged it with some brown dye ink.  I used some of the card stock to cover a slide mount, but couldn't find the image I wanted to place in it.  Instead, I found some "splashes" of rain and used them instead.  I tried to color the page using crayons for the focal images and used colored pencils (not watercolor pencils) and a ruler for the rain.  The image came from a book I purchased last year at the Art Museum book sale.  It was black and white and I tried to add a bit of color.

I am simply thrilled you took time to join me today.    Thank you beyond belief for your continued support of my art.  Today, you will find me at Art Journal Journey.  Hope to see you there, too.
