Sorry You're Feeling Under The Weather

I made this card for a friend who's not feeling too good at the moment.

I used two stitched square dies to die cut a frame from a snippet of white card.  I placed the card blank and frame into my MISTI so I could see where to position the stamps.  I removed the frame and stamped the umbrella and sentiment with black ink before embossing them with clear embossing powder.  I stamped the umbrella onto three small snippets of patterned paper (the outer sections onto pink paper and the middle section onto purple spotty paper).  I fussy cut them just inside the stamped outline and then paper pieced them into the umbrella.  I used a purple pencil to colour the umbrella handle.  To finish I attached the frame with foam tape.


    To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt card blank
     Crafter's Companion 'Sweet Florals' stamps
     Lawn Fawn 'Outside In Stitched Square Stackables' die
     Versafine Onyx black ink
     Faber-Castell coloured pencil
     Cosmic Shimmer clear detail embossing powder
     Snippets of white card and pink paper and purple spot paper

I am entering the following challenges:
     Allsorts - Anything Goes
     CAS on Friday - Feel Better
     Love to Scrap - Anything Goes
