Die Art Umbrella With A Sprinkle Of Hearts!
Welcome to our Create With Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration challenge is a really colorful photo full of umbrellas:
I could have used the inspiration photo as a color challenge but decided to tackle a die art umbrella. Since I don’t have a stamp set that has an umbrella, I created my own!
It was quite simple to create. I used the 2nd circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies and once that shape was cut, used a smaller circle die to create the umbrella scallops:
