The new 3 -2-1 recipe challenge at Double Trouble starts today, and here is the recipe:

3-2-1- Recipe “April Showers” Your card or project must include: 3 Colors of the Rainbow – 2 Die-Cuts, Ephemera or Punches and – 1 Create a Scene.

The optional twist is add anything that has to do with April showers (products that represent water, i.e., Ink, Liquid Glass, Wink of Stella, Glossy Accents, Gems, Droplets, or umbrellas, rainboots, cloudy skies, puddles, rainbows, etc.)

Of course we also have the ongoing challenge to play along with the sketch from our sister challenge, Try a Sketch on Tuesday. Visit their blog for the sketch and all the details!

My recipe: 3 colors of the rainbow (blue, yellow, green), 2 die cuts (clouds and deckled rectangle) and 1 rainy day scene.

The Quick and Simple Details:

• Background created by smooshing water color paper in wet ink
