I had already had the background made that I used for this card so I built off of it. I had never used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Umbrella die, it had been sitting on my desk for inspiration for a while now and it was definitely time to put it to good use! Since Raindrops Dew Drops are obviously the shape of raindrops, I felt the backdrop and the umbrella would all go together perfectly and create a cute, whimsical card. I hope you like the card I created:
As I said, the background was already made with some light blue and grey card along with the rainy backdrop; to give it some interest I cut it out using a fancy scalloped stackable and attached it to a white
card base. I proceeded to cut the umbrella out of white card using a freebie paper I'd gotten for the inside of the white cut out. I cut the handle and the tip of the umbrella out of brown card and glued it to the front over the rainy backdrop. Included with the umbrella die are raindrop dies, I used them to cut out pastel raindrops in light blue, green, pink, yellow and light purple. I glued clear Raindrop Dew Drops onto the colored raindrops which added some great dimension to the card! I still had some space left so I added some more clear raindrops to various places on the card. I stamped out the sentiment and used a stitched rectangle die to trim it down then added it to the card and I was done!Thanks so much for stopping by! Fondly, Christi
