Today's card was inspired by the ColourQ combo #200. I liked that it was both striking but soft at the same time.
I made my own background paper using stamps from the Rain or Shine stamp set (that was sold in this past Spring catalogue). I stamped the umbrellas in Old Olive, Marina Mist and So Saffron, and then I added raindrops in Versamark over the images, embossing them with Iridescent Ice powder.
The main image comes from the retired Million-Dollar Moments hostess stamp set. I stamped it in Midnight Muse and embossed it on vellum, which I die-cut with a Framelits from the Apothecary Accents collection. Another Framelits from the same set was used on Marina Mist cardstock to create a shape that went under the vellum, held in place with So Saffron brads. The piercing templates were used to add a pierced frame around the image.
A sentiment from the Rain or Shine stamp set was embossed in Pewter powder on Midnight Muse cardstock, and an umbrella image in matching ink was overstamped on it.
For the ribbons, I used an old punch called Horizontal slot that was perfect to create openings for ribbons. Finished it off with buttons in matching colours over the horizontal ribbons and a In Color dahlia over the vertical ribbon. The So Saffron button and Pool Party buttons come from our new Designer Button packs. They're really cool!
