I have to admit when I saw the topic for this fortnight's challenge at Crafty Ann's was "inspired by an Elvis song" my heart sank. My dad loved listening to Elvis Presley and also watching his films but I sadly lost my dad before I even left school. For about 20 years I could never even listen to Elvis songs but I can now but it is tinged with sadness at the loss of my dad and also a wonderful musician/actor in Elvis.
For my card I have used Crafty Ann's image of a duck in his umbrella and the song behind this choice was "All I needed was the rain". I have coloured the image with Promarkers and die-cut the image and distressed the edges. The backing papers are Crafty Ann's wood grain in pink and purple as I thought the lines of the wood replicated the ripples of water and I also wanted spring-like colours as well. The embellishments I have used are some fibres, sentiment off the computer, doily, some fab ribbon and some glittery gems.
