Life is about using the whole box of crayons...and coloring outside of the lines.

Another Camp Card...

And I'm back with another one.

After the paper fiasco yesterday...

and having time to try and come up with something without it...

I actually hit upon a few ideas.

This is number #2...

After many months of wanting...

and waiting...

PTI released dies for Scattered Showers last month...

but I didn't use them here.

They were either too large...

or my card would have been 10 inches long (it's 7.5).

Instead I used the negative from Favor It #2...

which I realized before the Holidays last year when I was cutting about 100 of them for kiddies classes...

looked just like a little umbrella!

And used Glossy Accents on the little umbrella's to make them "pop" just a bit...

what do you think?

Quickie post right now because I actually have #3 half finished here on my table...

we'll see when I get it finished because I have a gazillion things to do today...

including the dreaded grocery...

uugghhh.

but I may be back!

I'm really finding these colors so much fun to work with...

I can't seem to stop...

so I'll just apologize.


The Details
All Supplies PTI Unless Noted:
Cardstock: New Leaf, Pure Poppy, Harvest Gold,
Stamper's Select, Simply Chartreuse, Orange Zest
Stamps: Scattered Showers and SS: Additions
Die: Favor It #2 (negative), Clouds
Ink: Momento, Versamark

Note:  Carol asked on my card yesterday if I had the pearls in all the colors or if I colored...
yes and no.
I have pearls in most of these colors...
but they're larger and I needed seed pearls for yesterday's card...
so I colored with Copics.
Today is a combo.

Very smart of you to think of the Favor-It negative for an umbrella! I love the graduation of colors and the sun peeking out from behind the ribbon and cloud. Cute card, you are on a roll today!

Cute card. The rainbow of colors going horizontally vs vertically is a nice change.
