April Showers bring May Flowers at Heart2Heart!

I love this as a challenge idea!  This week's Heart2Heart challenge lets you decide how to incorporate rain/showers/flowers any way you like... maybe a rainbow?  I love my card!  It looks deceptively simple - and was more time consuming and finicky than anything I've made in a long time.  Can you tell that there are 14 different papers, 10 inks and 3 stamp sets used?  I hand cut all the buttons and leaves, used my Coluzzle for the button 'mats', and sanded all the edges to smooth them out nicely.  And my little polka dot background is supposed to be the April showers (get it?) coming down on my May flowers.  We would love to have you join us by playing along this week - just link up your project on the Heart2Heart blog (remember that your project should use mostly CTMH products - just list what else you've used).  We have two new sponsors for April: LeAnne Dudley and Michelle Zimmerman who are providing wonderful prizes that will be given to two randomly chosen players at the end of the month.  Come and see what the rest of the design team has come up with this week!
