No, I haven't lost my mind and finally started aberrant behaviors… none that I'm gonna admit to anyway LOL!
It's the new technique challenge at Just Us Girls hosted by the super sweet and talented Kristin! She's challenging all of us to kiss… with a twist!
Slap me silly and call me hooked, this is a FUN technique! You just HAVE to give it a go.
Not sure what it is? There's a great tutorial HERE.
I chose this awesome umbrella stamp from PTI. I inked it up with Cantalope ink (Memento) then gave it a big ol' smooch with the small argyle print (also from PTI's Argyle Basics) inked up with Rose Bud (Memento). It looks so darn cute! Haven't used the Scattered Showers set from PTI in a long time - and I just remembered how much I love it! The grass was created with Copic markers (YG63, YG67, G40). Then I sponged around the edges with Tumbled Glass distress ink before masking the area under the umbrella and stamping raindrops. I continued the argyle theme on the card base. I wanted it to be a cheery, pick-me-up kinda card and I think the colors help accomplish that - they're so vibrant and fun :)
Enjoy your weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by!
TTFN,

Ooh! Super cute! Love your rain clouds and fun argyle pattern. I haven't used this technique in a while, so I hope I have time to play along!
The contrast between your background, the blue sky, and the umbrella is amazing! I love the dimension in this card! It' so fun!!
Slap YOU silly? Are you kidding me? How 'bout I smear myself in jelly and lie down on an ant hill....! 'Cause HONEY baby, sweetheart! THAT'S what it's going to take to get me to WAKE up from my "Andrea is AMAZING" induced stupor! GIRL! {Sheesh! - I've been SUCH a slow and bad bloggy friend - 1,000 apologies to you!) THIS is SUCH fantastic use of technique, but EVEN better - WHAT a card! I love, love LOVE the sweetness and perfection you've put together here. This is SOLID gold, sweet one!

When I saw this on the JUGS site, I thought your umbrella was patterned paper. This came out beautifully! Love the grass and rain and most of all, that beautiful umbrella =)
