April Showers

Morning all!

It's our brand new challenge at Charisma! Today! And this fortnight's theme is ''April Showers'' 

The way the weather is here in the UK it really (well to me) doesn't matter weather it is really April or not but legend has it that the great british weather really is just rain... i sooo hope we have a nice summer didn't really get much of one last year.

With that said my Design Team creation today is featuring the lovely ''Roberto's Rascals Grouchy Kitty'' stamp from C.C.Designs  

I totally love this stamp, so reminds me of my kitty kat, he hates the rain and now he's back out in the land of the garden it's so funny when the rain starts he dives through the cat flap quicker than anything i've ever seen!

So here's my card that i created for today, it's very CAS for me as i wanted to show off the actual stamp as i really love it! and it's kinda a scene in itself! 

*Card Recipe*

*C/Stock -White Neenah Card from The Hobby House & blue Card Stock from limetree crafts

*Mediums - Promarkers & Flexmarkers

*Stamp - CC Designs Roberto's Rascals grouchy kitty

*Other  - Gems from Meiflower
