Under My Umbrella

Hi everyone and welcome back to our creative space! 

Raluca here with a brand new card showcasing a combination of newer and older stamp sets from Create a Smile Stamps shop.

I love using soft backgrounds and bold colored images. This cute mouse was perfect for my idea!

* First I die cut a white panel using the largest rectangle die from the Cool Cuts Double Stitched Rectangles set. 

* Next I created the background using some cheap watercolors and a flat paint brush.

* After the background dried I stamped the Cling Cloudy Day on the top part of the panel and the florals from the Clear Floral Decorations on the bottom part. Under the clouds I added some rain drops from the Clear Sweater Weather and I love how it looks.

* On a white panel I stamped the adorable unicorn from the Clear Sweater Weather and colored it with Spectrum Noir markers. * After the coloring was done I fussy cut the image and mounted it on the card.

* On the top half I stamped a sentiment from the Clear Sweater Weather using black ink and mounted the panel on a white card base.

* I glued a few clear sequins and my card was done.

I had so much fun creating this card and I love combining different products. All the Create a Smile products coordinates beautifully and I hope that you'll take a look at your stash and decide to use more products for one project cause it's really fun!
