Totally Terrific Thursday

Shellye here and it's

Totally Terrific Thursday 

time at I Heart Ippity!

I love that this stamp, 

"It's Raining Happy" 

reminds me of those fun pincushions that my grandmother used to have!

(you know, the ones that look like a tomato?)

 

So I guess I couldn't help but make the umbrella red with a green top...

I thought it would look great against the light blue sky and white clouds tinted with yellow.

Patterned papers by My Mind's Eye Lime Twist

 

I cut the clouds with my eCraft, then highlighted the edges with a light yellow distress ink.  

I trimmed the smaller cloud with Caribbean baker's twine.

For the umbrella, I hand-sewed on sead beads to represent the rain drops!

This is about as clean-and-simple as I get LOL
