ATC World - April Showers

Apt subject for the month!!!
I used an image from the web and fussy cut after printing.  I used some paper given free with a magazine and cut it to size before attaching the image.  Once the image had dried I coloured the canpies with different coloured Crystal lacquer and left it to dry.

All the sentiments were printed in blue on my PC using a 'snow' font and cut out for the ATC.


I used another of the free papers for this card and fussy cut a single umbrella shape.  I covered the canopy with black lace, cutting the straps to size.  The blue sentiment was cut and glued onto the card.



This great image from kids colouring pages was just begging me for colour.  I used my watercolour pencils to colour the canopy, dungarees and green grass over the 'peel off under my worksheet' to give them texture.    
The blue sentiment was cut and glued onto the card.


I printed two of these umbrella images and then fussycut one to use as a mask.  That was the idea anyway!  I found my 'tapestry stamps'  and stamped over over the canopy on the mask, following up with a black pen to emphasise the ribs.  Then I realised my mistake!!!  I attached this 'mask' onto the original image, using a gold pen to colour the rips of the ribs, the top and the tube.  I used the black pen again for the handle.  A metallic blue pen to highlight the raindrops and added the printed sentiment.
