Over at Linda Ledbetter's website the latest Tim technique to try is Coloured Crackle out of Compendium of Curiosities 3.
The Funkie Junkie Boutique is the sponsor of this challenge.
I decided to give Umbrella Man another change of clothes! I do like doing this and have another one half finished on my desk. Here is the link to Sunshine and Showers where he had his first transformation.
I treated Umbrella man as per Tim's instructions on Page 53.
My tag was treated with various colours of Distress inks:
I then used Tim's rays stencil, versamark and clear embossing powder to 'seal' some of the coloured areas. I then went over the whole tag with black soot - but of course it doesnt cover the embossed areas.
I stamped my words in Stazon - I love how it came out being stamped partly over ink and partly over the embossed areas.
A few more close ups:
And that is my Rainbow Umbrella Man - hope you like him!
