Umbrella Chick ft. Polkadoodles

 


Hello everyone!  Hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to
a sunny spring!  Today I'm bringing you a cute card made with
products from


This card was so easy to make!  And there are lots of papers and greetings
to choose from.  Let me show you how I made my card!  I
composed my images on the computer.  I decided to use 2 pieces
of the patterned paper and a partial sentiment.


I decided I wanted the umbrella to be the same plaid as the bottom
of the card.  So I actually cut an extra piece of the plaid paper and
taped it to the front of the image.  Then I sent the image back
through the printer.


I carefully cut out the umbrella and used a black marker around the
edge of it.  Next it was time to color this sweet image.


There really isn't too much to color with this image.  And I kept
things pretty simple.  I adhered the umbrella piece.


I decided to use this cute flower embellishment right over the flower
already on the umbrella.  I colored in basically the edges of the flower
on the umbrella and the 3D one fit on there nicely.


Copic colors used:  Y15, Y35, Y28, Y38, YR15, YR07, YR23,
E15, E18, BG10, BG13, BG23, RV13, Y02
I die cut my sentiment with a banner die and realized it was too long
for where I wanted to put it.  I cut off the ends and saved them to
use as little flags along the top right of the panel.  Then I snipped
the sentiment apart.  I colored them with the Y02 Copic marker and
popped them up on foam tape.  I added an enamel dot at the top
of the umbrella, and little clear gems on the umbrella itself.  I
added some yellow Stickles to the center of the flower and some
white peel-offs edged with gold where the 2 papers meet and along
the sides of the little flags to which I also added 2 tiny gems.


I mounted the main panel onto pink and then blue card stock and
layered them together on the card base and my card was done!


I hope I've given you some inspiration to try this cute little
chickie in her rainboots with her umbrella.  You can find the
products I used and many more at


Til next time...
