Look for Rainbows - April TCP Tuesday!

Good morning!  I'm a bit late this week with the NEW TCP Tuesday challenge for the month of April, but I've had a sick child and things have been a bit crazed!  I think I've washed my entire bed about 3 times since Sunday - ugh!  So far he's the only one that's gotten it so that is definitely something to be thankful for!

But, the card . . . this month's TCP Tuesday challenge (which you can view here on SCS and on Alma's blog) is to use flowers!  I know you call can do that - use die cuts (The Cat's Pajamas has several flower CutUps!), use stamps, use 3d flowers, use patterned paper with flowers, use your imagination - you can do it!!

I wanted to do something fun, something unexpected so here's what I came up with.

Don't you love this bunny?  It's one of the newest bunny sets, Hare Today from our release last week.  I thought about setting him afloat in a sea of flowers but when I saw the sentiment the rainbow idea came to me!  For all those pretty flowers I used the Lacy Floral Doily CutUps die.  Once they were all glued down and blinged-up, I added a "sea" with patterned paper and some waves (Wave CutUps die) and stamped the bunny directly onto my card.


The umbrella was paper pieced with some floral patterned paper and the sentiment was stamped on piece of deli paper which was die cut using the largest Circus Panel CutUps die.


You have the entire month of April to get in on this challenge and you can submit as many times as you like!! Alma has all the details listed on her blog.  Wouldn't you like to be named the Swanky Stamper this month?
