Verve April Diva Dare

In case you've missed it, the April Diva Dare has started on the Verve Blog.  Today is my day to post.  This month's theme is April Showers Bring May Flowers.  I don't know about you, but I am ready for the rain to stop.  Don't get me wrong, I like rain, I really do. . .but I don't like torrential downpours.  Especially when I have to push two kids in a stroller to pick my oldest up from school!  LOL 

My answer to this month's dare resembles the fresh and clean Spring I can't wait for!  No more mud. . .no more dull grass and barren trees.  Clean, fresh air and pops of color from the beautiful flowers that appear.  :)  I used the Bloom & Grow set and layered different colors for each of the flowers.  Then I die cut the flowers using the Floral Circles Die Set.  I added some glitter and rhinestones to the flowers to make them glisten.  The leaves were stamped and die cut using the Elegant Leaves Die.  After arranging the flowers on the focal piece, I stamped the sentiment and then drew a border with a pen and ruler.  The card base is embossing with the Dots Embossing Folder by Darice.
