Rainy Days Girl with Umbrella by Lemon Shortbread

Hi!  A brand new challenge starts today at the Lemon Shortbread Challenge Blog (the theme is always "Anything Goes").  
The darling image that I used is "Rainy Days Girl with Umbrella", found here:


Isn't she darling?  I used mostly Copic markers to colour the image.  The flowers and hatpin are handmade.  I used 3-D pop dots under the umbrella for added dimension, and I applied Mod Podge "Dimensional Magic" on the raindrops and puddles so that they appear realistic.  Thank you for visiting.  Hope to see you soon.  Stay safe.  Hugs, Lori xx

Materials and Tools Used

Umbrella:    Marianne Creatables "Vintage Parasol" die LR0263
Flowers:      EK Success "Retro" punches (small and medium)
Sentiment:  Computer generated

Ribbon, Swarovski crystals, Magic Mesh, EK Success Sticko dimensional stickers, beads and pearls are from my stash.
