Today's the start of a new Card Concept Challenge! The challenge is to use an umbrella.
Coincidentally, I was asked by a friend to make a shower card for a wedding that has a black, silver and white colour theme. It took me a while to come up with a fun (and clean & graphic, of course!) way to incorporate the umbrella in my card. I cut a square white panel, and then cut a curve out of it. I stamped and embossed the heart-rain and stamped the sentiment and adhered it to a black card base. I then took a circle punch and created the scalloped edge. When the card's closed, you can see the inside white panel and that gives it a bit more definition.
Now it's your turn - what style will you try this week?

Awesome card Ardyth. That embossing looks dangerously like embossing paste--jus' sayin! ;)
