* Umbrella Lady


Hello!

Today I have an inky card to share. 


The stamp reminds me so much of Mary Poppins, but she is called Silhouette Lady with Umbrella and is from Lost Coast Designs. I made her background by applying Distress Oxides (Fossilised Amber, Spiced Pumpkin and Candied Apple) with a blending tool, then stencilling over in the same shades and darkening them slightly with Black Soot. I also blended Black Soot around the edges to create a darker frame and stamped some Bare Branches and three tiny bird silhouettes by Inkylicious. Once I was happy with the background I used my stamping platform to stamp the Umbrella Lady in black Archival ink. I added a Tim Holtz Small Talk sticker, which I cut into strips, as my sentiment.

 That's all for today!
Thanks for stopping by.
xoxo

    Stunning. The background is amazing with the black silhouette of the lady which defiantly looks like Mary Poppins. Even her feet are turned out just like Mary Poppins. Have you seen the new film? Thanks for joining in at Daring Cardmakers. x
