"3-2-1 Recipe - April Showers"

Thing 1:  Trouble Maker

says, "April showers are on the way whether you live in an arid, desert-like climate or one that is humid and often wet. Did I say showers? Do you mean Baby, Bridal, Gender Reveal, or Housewarming? Well, not necessarily... but let's stir up some trouble and create a project for any occasion by using our recipe below."  

                          

3-2-1- Recipe "April Showers"

Servings - Unlimited Portions of Fun

Ingredients:  

     3  Colors of the Rainbow 

     2  Die-Cuts, Ephemera, or Punched Items 

     1  Create a Scene         

Directions: You MUST include at least the required minimum of each ingredient for successful results and to earn a chance in our random drawing... but you can enhance your project and use more than the ingredients stipulated.  If you are unsure of the ingredient description, click HERE for additional detail of that ingredient and this may answer your question. 

You can stop here... 

OR  

play along with Thing 3's optional twist and/or consider Thing 2's optional dare to use our sister's sketch challenge and earn additional chances in our random drawing. 

Thing 3:  Twisted Sister 

says, "April showers are fun for me... the sound of raindrops on my umbrella, splashing in a puddle, or seeing a rainbow when the rain has passed. 

"My optional twist is to enhance your scene's ingredients by including an element that you especially enjoy during April showers. Consider adding spatter or raindrops using products that represent water, i.e., Ink, Liquid Glass, Wink of Stella, Glossy Accents, Gems, Droplets, etc.  And... I'll even accept umbrellas, rainboots, cloudy skies, puddles, rainbows, etc."

If you include this twist with your 3-2-1 Recipe, you will be awarded an additional chance in our random drawing.            

 

THING 2:  Double Dare 

says, "Click on my clipart to the left to see a sneak peek of the Sketch Challenge from our sister challenge, Try a Sketch On Tuesday #667. To inspire you, combine this sketch with our Double Trouble 3-2-1 recipe 'April Showers' and you will be awarded TWO additional chances in our random drawing. 

"Please note TSOT starts on Tuesday, April 1st, so this sneak peek gives you the day prior to create; but remember... to prevent backlinking, your project should not be posted, published, or entered before Tuesday, April 1st, at Try a Sketch on Tuesday HERE."
