Umbrellas ready!

We are starting a new fortnightly challenge at Use Your Craft Stash, and we are onto U and V. These letters at the end of the alphabet are getting a bit tricky. The only thing I could think of was Umbrella - and it reminded me of a card I made in June 2015 for the Scruffy Little Kitten launch. There was a image of a little girl with an umbrella, and a great sentiment from one of the stamp sets - called Rosie. I tried to follow my own instructions from that blog post but I seem to have omitted a few things. I am pretty sure that I didn't make it at A4 size - and when scoring the top of the card for sticking I must have done the back piece - and not the front. I realised both mistakes when I made them with this card!! Am still pretty happy with it - although it is rather large!

I used the same sentiment as before, from the Scruffy Little Kitten stamp set called Rosie, but this time used a Hobby House Topper from a Daisy Mae Draws Ready to Colour Art Book called Days of Summer. I coloured it with Spectrum Noir markers - BT4, 5, 9 for the umbrella, CT1, 2, 3, 4 for the wellies, OR1, 2, 3, for the flowers and LG1, 2, 3 for the leaves and grass. The base card is from Papermill, and the spotty card I bought from my local market.

Hopefully brollies won't be needed this week - although that might be optimistic!

Happy crafting,
