Welcome back.Are you a digital image user??? I really like them as I feel I can make them larger smaller and you can't do that with rubber stamps. Recently I received a free digital image from CDAC and decided to really think outside the box, so to speak.
This really great umbrella image is from Nana Vic Digitals and it's a wonderful umbrella.However.......
I have used this opened umbrella and morphed it into a butterfly. So every time I look at an umbrella I think of Donna and I see other things.
I cut the 2 of the umbrellas out, removed the handles and butted these next to each other at the top of the umbrella. I used pearls as the body and added some wire to make the antenna. Those open dots on the umbrella digital image, well I covered them with flat backed black pearls. I just thought that the yellow color and the black pearls just went so well together.
Don't let rain showers get in your way. Next time you see an open umbrella think of butterflies!!! LOL
Have a fabulous day!!
This is so cool. Love the bit of lattice work and the bright yellow. Would love to know what other things Donna inspired you to see using an umbrella.
ReplyDeleteWow Barb, just got back in town and I see you have been one busy butterfly! I still haven't tried the digital stamps, maybe one day. Seeing how you went outside the box to make this card is very inspiring!

Barbara, love the trellis behind the butterfly - that was the perfect touch! Your morphed butterfly looks amazing! I will always think of DeeDee also with her amazing knack for repurposing images. Your beautiful card reminds me of something else as well - the itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow poke a dot bikini -- haha Lovely card, my sistah! hugs, de

Ah yes, I can see where you thought of Donna when creating this!
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with your butterfly Barbara! The little pearls for it's body look so great. And I love the soft background paper you chose & how you pulled the one color from it for a little pop of color on your saying piece. Very nice!
Oh My Goodness, your umbrella butterfly is so creative and it's great to see such a pretty card that is taking full advantage of the flexibility of using digital stamps. Adore the colours that you used and agree totally that the black pearls against the yellow is stunning. Beautiful design and selection of papers used. Thank you for joining us at
