Hello Everyone! Thanks to all who participated in the Art with Heart kick-off challenge “New Beginnings”. Are your ready to play again? We all know that the month of April brings showers so our Art with Heart Challenge theme this month is “April Showers”!
Art with Heart “April Showers” Challenge
April marks the beginning of spring, wedding season and more! Think bridal showers, baby showers or spring themed projects. Be creative and let your style shine!
To get you started here is some creative Inspiration from the Inspiration Team…
Easter Basket Artist Trading Block
Today we have Inspiration Team member Shelly Hickox sharing a sweet Easter Basket Artist Trading Block project to get the “April Showers” inspiration flowing.
Shelly created this beautiful Easter Basket with Graphic 45 papers and Eileen Hull’s Square Box Sizzix Artist Trading Block die. Stop by Shelly’s blog for a tutorial sure to “spring” your creativity into action!
Sizzix Products used:
Eileen Hull Square Box XL Scoreboards Die
Little Sizzles Mat Board Cream
* The Square Box Die is available in the “From the Heart Collection” to see more complimenting dies from this Eileen Hull Sizzix collection click HERE.
We have a fun Sizzix Prize Pack up for Grabs this month perfect for Spring Crafting! One randomly selected winner will claim the prize. All you need to do for a chance to win is link up a project with a link back to The Art with Heart April Showers Challenge so others can play along.
Your project does not have to include Eileen Hull Products but those that do will be given an extra entry. The winner and top 3 will be featured here the last Friday of the month April 25, 2014.
In case you missed the March “New Beginnings” Challenge Winner and Top 3 you can see them HERE.
Stop back each Tuesday of this month for more creative projects from the Inspiration Team!
Can’t wait to see your Spring themed “Art with Heart”!
