Fun with Friends with Flair


I just love this cute little Ippity umbrella! I have been on a quest to ink up all the stamps I won from the last Ippity release - can't believe it took me this long to get this one inky! So I got it done this week, and am linking it up for Friends with Flair over at Unity:
I stamped and colored it with Copic markers, then ran it through my Cuttlebug with my Papertrey Ink Linen Impression Plate. LOVE the texture it added! 
Next, I distressed the edges a bit with a Tim Holtz distress tool, and inked the edges with Tim Holtz distress ink. I tucked a doily behind it, that I crumpled up a bit to add some texture. 
The paper is from an older Basic Grey 6x6 paper pad - part of my quest to use up some of my older papers! 
I finished off with some trims from October Afternoon's Sidewalks wrap pack, and a tiny bit of PTI twine tied around.  
Hope your day is happy today - although I hope that it's raining sunshine on you instead of the liquid variety!!!
