I immediately thought of both this stamp and a lovely Phyllis Harris one from Unity.
I stamped and masked my image, then stamped the flourish backgrounder in Versamark and embossed with silver EP. Then I sponged with Stormy Sky distress ink, and Mowed Lawn for the (masked off) grass. Coloured the image with Polychromos pencils and stamped over it again to sharpen it up. Edged with a black Sharpie.
I swiped my grey base with a versamark pad and buffed Perfect Pearls into it, so it's a bit shimmery. Spattered with gold Twinkling H2Os, and drew a black border, adding a gem in each corner.

Oh yes indeed! Giggling a bit as this is what we regularly experience as normal "breezes" and from the pics my sister shared - some of what she also experienced in Ireland! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the silver wind swirls in the bg. It really adds to the feeling of the power of the wind! Beautifully colored image and the overstamping looks fab!

Either I read your mind or you read mine. I was feeling a little puzzled over this theme, looked up some wind images and saw this one. i thought, 'man I really like that, I could order it and get it in time.' You beat me to it. I still really like it!!!!! It makes a whimsical, splendid card.

This is gorgeous! Love your swirly wind and that image says it all. Every time I see this image used I think I should get it but I have several other "wind" options so this remains on the vendors shelf.

Oh Wow - that is a very windy day out there. I love the way you created motion in the background - I just about see all the leaves blowing around. The image you used gave me a giggle - I would just give up on the umbrella!

This image always brings a smile. I worked in downtown Dallas for years and more than once I almost got knocked down as the wind rushed between buildings. Trashed several umbrellas too.
