Friends are your umbrella by Sharon Caudle

Hello AI Fans!!

Of all the things I could wish for you, I think the best thing I could wish for you is to have at least one close friend in your life.  They truly are our umbrellas. I love this image and sentiment from the Girlfriends line at Art Impressions #4048 Under My Umbrella Set. I stamped them onto Cryogen White paper and colored them with Copic markers. I then cut the sentiment out with #5065 Oval Double Stitched Dies and then trimmed it off to tuck it into the corner.  I just used my craft knife to try and mimic the stitched design on the trimmed sides.  Didn't turn out super great, but it's ok. 

So that's it from me today.  Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and until next time - stay crafty!! 

Copics used:

Under my Umbrella by Mary Witter

Good morning blogger friends! This is my last post on this blog. The demands of teaching, making samples and my own blog are all I can handle.  The additional two posts a week plus commenting on the challenges is spreading me too thin.  I will be commenting/posting on the Ai facebook page and my own blog.
As my final post I wanted to share with you another image from the "Girlfriends"  I just love all of them but I think this one called "Under My Umbrella" is my favorite.  You just can tell that they are sharing more than the umbrella ....but some juicy secret as well. Seeing them all under one umbrella also says something about how close they are and what a tight friendship they share.  We all should be so fortunate to have friends like this.  Enough said...I present:  Under My Umbrella by Art Impressions!
I hope you enjoy my attempt and it "tempts" you to purchase your own stamp. If you do or if you have any questions on how I did this just leave a comment and let me know.  Thanks.

Friends who laugh....last!
