Hello friends and welcome to another fun challenge at Papercraft Star! This week we've got something new for you - extended hours to participate!! Yes, you saw it correctly - you will now have all weekend to craft and link up your submission to the site! I work full-time like a lot of you and know that weekend crafting time is both fun and important and we hope this change will get a lot more of you out playing with us! Without further ado, here is this week's sketch - I used another fun set from My Favorite Things this week along with my Copic markers to create this cute card. I found these great papers from the Modern Homemaker collection and paper pieced the umbrella with a cute floral. I then matched the rain boots and slicker to the colors of the umbrella. I think it turned out quite cute!
One fabulous fact about acrylic stamps is how flexible the are - and I mean literally flexible! Who says you have to use sentiments in a straight line like they come in the package? Just bend them at the angle you want them and stick them to your acrylic block like I did here for inside this circle. Fun and different!
Looking forward to seeing what you create!!
Supplies: Stamps - My Umbrella (MFT), DP - Modern Homemaker Collection (October Afternoon), Copic Markers, Ink - Basic Black (SU!), Twine (May Arts), Charm (Frost Creek), Cuttlebug, Dies (Spellbinders), Glossy Accents
