My card for Sketch #100 at the CPS blog features fun papers from Scenic Route Paper Company's Hampton collection.
The Magenta Umbrellas were stamped in Tangerine ColorBox Chalk on Hampton grid paper and clear embossed. I stamped the image a second time and cut out one of the umbrellas to attach at the top. The sentiment is one of my favorites from Inkadinkado.
I painted parts of the umbrellas with Pink Poinsettia Shimmerz Blingz for a wonderful sparkly shimmer.
I used foam tape to attach the central elements and finished with some orange and pink bling.
Remember, even if things are raining down all around you ... you still have control of your own thoughts ... so make them happy ones.
CUTE!!! Loving that umbrella and love what you did with the CPS sketch.
