Hi everyone,
It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about being inspired by music. Music in general, a musical instrument or a song.
It was fun to go for a song title this time, in these kind of challenges I'm normally inspired to do a project in general and in this case a music inspired one. I was going back and forth between Set Fire to the Rain by Adele and Rihanna's Umbrella. That's why the background colors are red and yellow/orange to represent fire. But finally I chose for Umbrella as I wanted to use the Simon Says Stamp Umbrella Shaker die.
The colors I used for the background are Barn Door and Amber Fossilized Distress Ink, along with a little Ground Espresso and some Black Soot Distress Crayon. I'm still absolutely in love with the effect of the effect it gives.
tI went around the edges of The umbrella with black and white for extra contrast. I also made umbrella transparent with Glossy Accents. The letters I cut out foil cardstock that I had found when I cleaned my craft room the other day.

Very cool piece! I'm so impressed at how dimensional your umbrella looks! I also really like how you added the word "umbrella" to the bottom in that great font.
