Hello All,
Today I am playing along with INKspirational and Double D Challenges. Yellow and gray aren't my favs but that is exactly the reason why I wanted to try this challenge. Here is my card for today, enjoy!
 |
| This card is designed with a metal stencil from Spellbinders (I think). I can envision a crowded city street while it's raining. Can you imagine... Crowds!! |
 |
| The stencil was taped down over a sheet of dark gray cardstock. I used tinted embossing paste that was mixed with shades of yellow. I then added a thin sheet of paste to the stencil to give an ombre look. After it was dry I went back and carved the ribs of the umbrella for more texture and consistency. |
 |
| After carving, I used a gray ink pad and lightly spread the ink over the paste at an angle to create a sense of rain. You can imagine pools of water washing over umbrellas. I colored between the umbrellas with a lighter shade of gray for contrast. |

Shawna, this card is stunning. I didn't quite understand how you made it, but the end result is really amazing. I love your choice of colors, their shades. They're perfect, and I love the streaks on the umbrellas. This is a very inspiring card, Shawn, and thank you for sharing it with us.
Stay safe, my dear friend.
Hugs,
