Best Wishes card

I loved the inspiration picture for the new stamp company, Avery Elle's, January challenge so even though I don't have any of their adorable stamps yet, I decided to go ahead and use the digi stamp they provided to pull together a card.

The inspiration picture they provided is this print sold on Etsy.

Here's the card I made.

I love the deep red umbrella in the inspiration picture, so it's likeness is the focus of my card. I recolored and printed the starburst image from Bella Gypsy (it's in their Bang Boom Kapow kit, which I think has been retired). The sentiment is the digital stamp provided by Avery Elle. Love the pattern. Not sure what occasion to use this card for, but I'll figure something out!

Thanks for taking a look. :)

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Seriously...it is raining AGAIN! Summer was about two weeks long (not even 14 consecutive days!) and it has been cloudy and rainy all the other time. Rain all through Memorial Day weekend, rain on the 4th of July (well, that's what I hear...we were in MI), pouring buckets of cold rain on my boys' 4th birthday, rain on Labor Day....and so it continues. Yesterday was a surprising sunny day. Today...raining, raining, raining again.
