April Showers

Create a project using an umbrella

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.

Here is my project for the week:

As you can see I went with a different type of umbrella for my project. I live in Florida and it's the beginning of beach season in April, not the rainy season. I actually found this cute umbrella on the Dude cartridge. I think I've only used this cartridge once so I decided to go for it and see what happened. I like the cut!

The clouds were cut from watercolor paper. I watered down some blue ink and put it around the edges to make them less stark. I actually used the back of one because I liked the way it bled through. The "sand" was scrunched and then rubbed with Distress ink. I sprayed a little shimmer spray on it to give it a little more depth (that really doesn't show in the picture).

I hope everyone enjoys this week's challenge and has a great week!
