Happy Saturday everyone! It's time for a new Inspired By...All The Little Things challenge and you will LOVE this great inspiration photo! The fabulous colors and the umbrella theme was all I needed to jump into some watercoloring for my background! Here is my take on the photo...
After wetting down some Ranger watercolor cardstock, I then scribbled distress ink markers over the base, using a brush to gently blend them together. After that step was dry, I splattered some water drops to "bleach" out some spots. I paper pieced the umbrella die and added a sentiment flag - all from My Favorite Things' Umbrella Stamp/Die set. The inside sentiment reads "I'm Here For You, Rain or Shine". These oldie but goody clear dew drops - adhered with SU's fine tip glue pen - added another element of raindrops.
The challenge linky will close on Friday, October 14 at 12:00 pm (PST), so be sure to check out all the inspiration over on the Inspired By blog, and link up your creation! Hope to see you in the gallery!
perfect!
