Pretty in Pink Umbrella

After using my Rubber Romance umbrella girl for the last couple cards, I remembered I had another SUPER CUTE umbrella girl set from My Favorite Things I had never used! I bought it the day it was released after seeing an adorable project made by my friend, Carole Burrage.

There are lots of little details I want to point out on this card so you don't miss them. :)

• This card uses my drunken watercolor technique.



• I used a Marvy punch to punch a half circle out of pink patterned paper (SU) and then used scalloped scissors to create the scalloped edge. The set does come with an umbrella, but it is solid and I wasn't able to make it work with what I had envisioned for the card.



• I used a chocolate chip marker to draw the rest of the "pole" of the umbrella so it looks like it is extending up into the umbrella.



• As I was looking at the umbrella in the stamp set, I noticed there was a little peak on it. I needed to replicate that so I snipped off the prong portion of an aged copper brad using some wire snips. Then I adhered one of the prongs to the inside of the umbrella to make the peak. isn't it cute?



• When adhering the umbrella to the card, I lined it up with the hand drawn pole and then arched it slightly, so it would give a rounded appearance to the umbrella. I love the effect!



• The water that is pooled around her feet is covered with a clear glaze pen.



• The dogs shirt is paper pieced and matches the umbrella and lower patterned paper panel.
