Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #5

ETA: I was thrilled to see that this card made it "In The Spotlight" for Dawn's color challenge! I was so excited that I almost woke up the sleeping toddler. : )


Hello. This card has been bouncing around in my head for a few days. I finally got to make it and liked how it turned out. But then it photographed so poorly that I almost don't want to post it!

This is 4.25" square card. I masked the center with a 3" square of copy paper and a little extra mask for the sentiment. Then I stamped the Polka Dot Basics. I sort of free-handed the frame. I'm an engineer, so I couldn't quite bring myself to do it without a ruler. I really like the scribble look, so I still tried for that. The umbrella is covered with Crystal Effects, which photographed very poorly. Need to work on that.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a good week!
Jennifer
