March Showers...April Flowers?

Happy Sunday!  I am sitting here hoping for rain - something to end all the snow that has been dumped on us the past few months.  Fast forward to this morning - opening my emails and the local scrapbook store is advertising new Three Bugs in a Rug paper - I packed up the kids and hubby (complete with credit card in his pocket) and headed off to Scrap & Bean.  So, what's paper got to do with snow and rain?  Everything!  Check out Donna:

Donna is a digital image drawn by the talented children's illustrator Christy Croll of Tiddly Inks.  Tiddly Inks is this week's sponsor at Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog.  The challenge is "stripes" which could be in your paper, on your image, or even created by using strips of paper or ribbon.  Donna has stripes on her shirt which I have coloured similarily to the rainbow stripes on the paper.

I have followed this week's skech on Sketch Saturday and continued the basic layout on the inside of the card:

Donna is coloured with coloured pencils over copic markers - necessary after Donna's hair was just a tad too bright!
