Don't Be Blue... 33

Hello there! Hope you are all having a great weekend! One of the many things on my 2013 crafty to do list is to create more often than not in my art journal. I've managed to "collect" a rainbow of paints, sprays, inks, markers, crayons, etc... now I just have to take the time to play. It's been raining cats and dogs here all weekend, nearly non-stop since Friday afternoon which inspired me to create this page in my peanut size art journal.

After painting the background, I assembled and adhered 3 die cut umbrellas on the page that were made using Die-namics Umbrella Die & Stamp Set. I don't have a waterproof blue ink pad so I stamped the raindrops using blue acrylic paint.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend! I'll be spending the day working on a few projects for the upcoming MFT February Teasers which begin Tuesday, January 29th.
Be Sweet ;)
