I was going to make something completely different this morning, but when I went into my stamp room after breakfast I still had all my Basic Grey Ambrosia papers, my stamps and matching accessories sitting out.
So rather than clean up I just used what was already out!! *grin*
I used my Amy's Boutique stamp set and stamped the umbrella 3 times onto the grey paper, and stamped the top onto 3 different patterns then paper pieced the umbrella tops.
I added rain dots (by Cloud9) to the images - love how they look!
The sentiment is from A Muse.
I pulled out my Pillow Box die (got that from Stampin' Up!'s Holiday mini not too long ago) and used it on the second sheet of Basic Grey paper (BG's 6x6 packs are the perfect size for these dies) and used it for the first time - worked like a charm. I have a CuttleBug and just used the die and 2 B plates to run it through and that's it. The box took a whopping 2 minutes to make.
I finished off the inside of the card by adhering a couple of strips of the patterned paper to the inside (a good way to use up bits of the papers that are left over), stamped and paper pieced the umbrella and that was it!
Ribbon is May Arts textures. Brads are Doodlebug.

Now are y'all wondering what my little news tidbit is???
Well stay tuned as I am planning on releasing THREE new stamp sets on the 27th of this month!! I am reallyreallyreally hoping my copies get here either today or tomorrow so I can start making samples as sneak peeks will be starting this weekend on the ATS blog. I can't say much more about them except that they are all Christmas sets!! Ok that's it. My lips are sealed......*grin*
