Crazy 4 Challenges - National Umbrella Month

Did you know that March is National Umbrella Month? Crazy 4 Challenges is celebrating the umbrella this week by including one on our cards this week....it could be an umbrella to stop the rain, parasol or beach umbrella.

I decided to use a character I hadn't used in a while for my card - Poppy the Owl.  To make the cloud background, I used Karen Burniston's new Stage It Stencil called Rainy Day.  I placed the stencil over the Daffodil Delight card stock and sponged Whisper White Craft ink to get the cloud shapes.  When the ink dried I used a Sharpie to trace over the clouds - in some areas I had to go over it twice as the Sharpie really didn't like to draw over the Craft ink.

I die cut Poppy from Very Vanilla card stock and sponged him with several different colors.  To get his blue eyes, I used the eye die from Dutch the Fox.  I used Pacific Point & Basic Black Stampin' Write Markers to color directly onto the stamp from See Ya Later (retired SAB).

Happy Stampin', 
Raquel
