CHALLENGE 100 APRIL SHOWERS

Many thanks to Ujjwal for her lovely challenge last week - you can see the entries on the sampler as usual.
Now onto this week - well as you can see this is CHALLENGE 100 - wow, I never thought for a minute I would be still doing this at number100 - it is all thanks to you for your love and support. 
I have another lovely Guest Designer this week - Faye has supported me right from the start - I am sure never missing a week so here is her challenge to you and what she has to say:-

'I started blogging about 4 years ago. While checking out one of the artists' blogs on a Yahoo artists' group, I saw the challenges for the first time and got interested in doing them myself. Most of my work is uncomplicated. My start in art began as a child who loved to draw. I took commercial art in high school and a couple of art courses in college. A good friend taught me how to oil paint. Only late in life did I pick up watercolors. And mixed media is something I have begun to try in the last couple of years. I may go back to oil painting some day, but at the moment I'm having such fun trying all these different media.
This is taken from a photo of one of my oil paintings. The subject is Stephanie, a saucy little girl that I tutored years ago. She was just the type child to enjoy splashing in puddles. I took a copy of the painting, stamped it with a raindrops stamp by Rubber Stampede, and then added "raindrops" of Inkssential's Glossy Accents. (Of course, they don't show in the photo very well.) I would challenge bloggers to make their own creations depicting April Showers. And as an extra, they could add some kind of shiny stuff. (I love bling!)

Here is Faye's card.

 

As usual you may create whatever you fancy be it atc, card, scrapbook layout, tag, inchie, 4 x 4 - the choice is yours. As always add your creation to your blog or email me direct with the picture if you don't have a blog. Leave me a comment with a direct link to your work of art and I will pop over to have a look. Please include a link to my challenge site on your blog. Thanks and enjoy the challenge.  As a thank you for your support there will be a small prize given at the end of the week - the winner to be chosen by Faye.
