Today's Alphabet Challenge letter location is M and my location is at the movies. I decided I wanted to do a Singing in the Rain themed card but didn't really have anything in my stash to help with what I wanted to do.
I decided to find a photo of the classic lamp post pose with Gene Kelly (that was the pose they used for Gene Kelly at Movieland Wax Museum). After printing that out, I laid some vellum over top of it and traced it with a black pen and colored it in. After fussy cutting it (that is what is to the left of the card), I taped it onto black card stock, traced it, and then fussy cut the black outline.
I die cut an oval from a faux brick gel print and did a rain technique on it using Copic markers as well as a white gel pen.
For my background, I dry embossed a silver metallic panel with a music embossing folder.
I printed the sentiment on Daffodil Delight (using the Vivaldi font) and then die cut an umbrella. My umbrella die is too big so I ran it through several times to cut the umbrella down to a size I liked.
This will be a fun card to send to my daughter who is studying music in college.
Thanks for the challenge and thanks for looking!
