Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Sorry I’m late with today’s post … I got carried away cleaning out my stamp room yesterday!! I’ve been pulling out all my sets that are going to retire 😦 and making room for the NEW ones to join the current remaining sets! 🙂 Today, I have another card from the UNDER MY UMBRELLA stamp set and coordinating punch … as promised.

I teamed up this bundle with some darling designer paper found in the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer paper … specialty because it has “gold foil” designs (I’ll share that another day). I’ve also used the Triple Banner punch – also retiring … on today’s card.

You will see the discounted products at the end of my post – we’ve got some pretty good savings for you!

Take a look at the flowers on the stamp set … don’t you think the look similar to the flowers on this pattern paper? Me too!! So, I thought they would go perfectly together …

My apologies … the camera did not do this card justice!! The colors are actually Old Olive and the retiring Terracotta Tile and the designer paper is much prettier too.

I stamped the umbrella onto the designer paper and punched it out … I punched out a 2″ circle with the “retiring” 2″ Circle Punch to create the focal point … the umbrella. I also fussy cut a few of the flowers and placed them around the card to draw your eye around the entire card.

I used my Terracotta Tile marker to dye my white Bakers Twine and added it to the top of my banner. I stamped my greeting underneath my focal point … the umbrella. I chose this greeting because today is my Mom’s birthday, and I think of her “rain or shine”. She is truly missed.

I want to “Thank You” for hanging out, stopping back and checking out my post today. I hope you have a beautiful Sunday ~
