Brayered Crumb Cake ink at the bottom of a 3.5″ x 4.5″ piece of Whisper White card stock.
Brayered Tempting Turquoise ink at the top of the card stock.
Brayered Not Quite Navy at the top of the card stock, not covering the Tempting Turquoise ink entirely.
Masked the sky area with a post it note and sponged Not Quite Navy ink at the post it note edge.
Stamped the pole using Soft Suede ink.
Stamped the umbrella top on a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock using Real Red ink.
Cut out the image and adhered it to the main image panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Mask over the umbrella with a post it note and sponge Crumb Cake ink below the umbrella to create a shadow.
Ripped a hill in the post it note and sponged Crumb Cake ink in the hill shape to create a mound of sand.
Using the edge of a post it note at a slant on the card stock, made white gel pen dashes along the post it note edge to create the rain. Kept moving the post it note until I had rain all the way across the card stock.
Ripped a cloud shape in a post it note and put it at the top of the card stock. Sponged Sahara Sand ink in the cloud shape.
Added Basic Black ink right at the post it note edge.
Removed the mask and sponged Whisper White ink over the cloud to tone it down a bit.
Added a crumb Cake panel and Real Red panel. Wanted to keep this lay out clean and simple. Here is the finished card that measures 5″ x 6.5″.
May your day be more cheerful than this. 🙂
Until my next post. . . . . .
Huge Hugs from me and my Grand Daughter, Hailie Jade. We are off to play now.
