Can't believe I use to make a card a day for over 3-4 years. Now I barely get one done in a week or two. Where did my time go?
Had a fun time putting this one together today. Just like the old days, I started it before I left for work. Got home and put it altogether.
All the parts were either cut out or die cut. Dry embossed the raindrops then sponged on the blue so they stood out.
The umbrella was a metal stencil that I put embossing paste on. Had all day to dry.
The flowers were die cut using a left over gelli print.
The birdie, best part, was stamped, colored with copics then cut out. I LOVE this bird crazy set of Tim Holtzs. They just make me smile!
While at Wal-Mart today using the restroom, I strolled by the hair section and found these little black flowers with stick-em on the back. Like those would stay in your hair. Anyway, thought these would look good on a card. So I bought them. hehe
Put this altogether on a large black card. Done. Hope this puts a smile on your face like it did mine. Thanks Sabrina for a fun challenge. TFL :0)
Hi Sis! :0)

Hey, stranger!!! I don't hang around the gallery as often as I used to, so I have missed seeing your artwork!!! You've still got it, even though you aren't cranking them out every day!

This is just too cute not to smile at. You sure put together a lot of creative elements. The umbrella turned out so well and I love those die cut flowers. Great copic coloring on that adorable bird.
