Rainy Day.

I remembered that in my Sunbonnet Sue quilt block book there was a design with an umbrella so thought I could adapt it for a bit of paper piecing instead. The bit of lace just happened to be on my desk so used that as the hanging. The background paper was a freebie from a magazine and all the rest is snippets. Even the buttons are snippets! You know when you die cut flowers out you get the little circles from the centres? Well I keep those too!!!! Oh yes. Nothing wasted here so coloured them with a pro marker to match the umbrella and then glued them in place.

 
Finally a bit of glossy accents applied with a puddle at the bottom and here’s my finished tag.
