Beate's Back!!

YAYYY!! Beate is back with her weekend sketch challenge and I am THRILLED!! She actually used a sketch that was drawn up by Jenn Balcer this week, and it is super fabulous!! I decided to combine her sketch challenge with today's Inspiration challenge on SCS. The challenge was to use these Marimekko Umbrellas. Now, personally, I would never pay that much for an umbrella, but that is coming from a girl whose umbrella is in the trunk which proves to be virtually useless when it rans. By the time I get out to get it out of the trunk, I am wet already and figure what the heck, right!! Anyway, I chose this umbrella here. I was inspired by the colors on it, so I used those, and an umbrella stamp, scratch that, my FAVORITE umbrella stamp, to make my card. The colors are Pumpkin Pie, Regal Rose, and Rose Red....can you say GORGEOUS!! I stamped my Rainy Day Friends Sophia on Whisper White and colored it with my SU markers. The dress was paper pieced using some yummy(retired, boohoo) Rose Red paper. I colored in the big flowers on the paper piecing with my Regal Rose marker. In hind sight, I would have left them alone, but I wasn't cutting it out again!! I cut the image and layers out using my Cuttlebug and Nesties. The sentiment is from the Rainy Day Friends set and I layered it with my colors and then added a spiral clip with some American crafts ribbon and some silver brads. The DP is more of the SU Rose Red DSP and some Bali Breeze DSP. I added various ribbons from SU and some piercing on each edge. I usually prefer that my main image face the center of the card, but I made an exception for this card. Isn't is SUPER CUTE! Look at all the brads, and ribbon, and layers...yuuuummm!!hehehe

That is it for me now, off to stamp some more!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
