Now on to our new challenge, and when I first proposed this, I meant it as a literal weather inspired card. However, I have had some friends go through some rough spots these past few weeks and hope that their cloudy skies will soon clear up for sunshine and rainbows soon!
This week's challenge is called:

CLOUDY SKIES

We want to see those clouds in your cards, whether as an embellishment, on your patterned papers, or if you've drawn them yourself. Cloudy skies means happy flowers next month! :)

Here is a lineup from our fabulous DT, including Zulma, our recent Guest Bar-Tender:
