CASology Week #164: Umbrella





If you are looking for my ColourQ post, please click here.

Hello and happy Tuesday.  It's time for another challenge at CASology.  Our cue word this week is UMBRELLA.  I was torn between using an umbrella for rain (which we so desperately need in California) or a sun umbrella (which is the kind of umbrella I see most frequently in San Diego).

I decided to use the rain umbrella, but with a twist.  I did some masking and coloring with Copics to make a little scene.  I stamped an umbrella top from PTI Scattered Showers, then masked it off to stamp Simon the dog.  Then, I masked Simon to stamp the handle of the umbrella, making it look longer than it actually is.  Just for fun, and to ease the drought a little, I added some raindrops.



Now, it's your turn.  How are you inspired by UMBRELLA?  I hope you play along this week. Please remember to keep it Clean and Simple.

I am also linking up at a few more challenges this week:

Simon Says Monday:  Love this Technique (masking and coloring), Happy Little Stampers CAS Colouring, and Time Out #39: Make Your Mark.





Please head on over to the CASology blog and gather some inspiration from the design team.

  11. I've always loved to see different techniques and use of masking. You certainly did NOT disappoint, Joyce. Putting Simon in an upturned umbrella is adorable and adding the raindrops brings good karma. Hope you all get the rain you so badly need. Keeping my fingers crossed.
