Singing in the Rain & Live, Laugh, Love - Double Trouble Challenge #55

Here is my DT cards for Double Trouble Challenge #55 "Spring Things" Inspiration Photo using my twist "something that reminds you of water" and then I paired up ArtsyStamperDigital Challenge #14 "Springtime".  I used many of the colors from the Inspiration Board, along with a lot of the different elements (clouds, rain, umbrellas, sun, rainboots, birds)... it's wasn't difficult to choose only three.  Stickers, paper and embellishments made it easy to put together... fun challenge.







Thing 1 Trouble Maker says to select at least three or more things, i.e. items, elements and/or colors, to use in your Spring project... how easy is that?  It was so easy that I created a second card. 

And if you already included something that reminds you of water, i.e., dew, raindrops, boots, umbrellas, liquid glass, Nuvo drops and even gems you've earned my extra chance at a random draw.  

Then share your Spring project at ArtsyStamperDigital Challenge #14 for additional chance of our random draw.  And don't forget to look at ArtsyStamper's Shop for pretty digital spring flowers.  


All Product Used are from Heidi Grace Designs
