The April TWOFER card challenge #26 theme is Rain/Umbrella ... I chose an umbrella stamp for my two cards.
For my first card I stamped the umbrella twice to resemble a butterfly and gold embossed using an embossing pen to add the body and then fussy cut it out .... then made another one. I used Magical Micas to watercolour the top butterfly and Twinkling H2Os for the bottom one - added some white spots to this one with a gel pen. I used a panel from my stash made with a Twinkling H2O water wash as the background and stamped and gold embossed the sentiment. I moulded the butterfly wings and attached with foam tape.
For my second card I stamped the umbrella in black on pattered paper and then on navy card, fussy cut them both and did some paper piecing. From the patterned paper set I cut two gumboots and then die cut the word Spring from gloss card, smooched it with Distress Oxide and then wiped away the 'oxide' with a damp baby wipe. I stamped the rest of the sentiment on navy card and white embossed it. From my background stash I found this smooched Distress Ink watercoloured panel and attached it to a matching layer of pale green and to finish added all the elements. I drew on the umbrella shaft with a silver pen.
I am also playing along with the Daring Cardmakers challenge - Umbrella.
Thanks for stopping by my blog ---- have a Happy Day and stay safe

Clever use of the umbrella to turn into butterflies Robyn! 2 lovely cards.
ReplyDeleteVery clever butterflies, Robyn! Love all the shimmer and the gorgeous shades of blue! The floral umbrella and wellies are so pretty with that splashed background! Two fun uses of umbrellas, my friend!
ReplyDeleteYour butterflies are exquisite, Robyn! What brand of embossing pen do you use? I haven't had much success with the ones I've purchased, but yours makes a lovely then, but juicy, line. The coloring, white dots, and plumping of the butterflies and the waterwashed background make this design just glow! And your paper-pieced floral, navy and red spring wishes card is so bright and cheerful! The smooched background from your stash worked perfectly! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #26! Take care and keep safe! Hugs, Darnell
