An hour or so ago I had a chat with my friend Bobby who had commented on yesterday's card saying it reminded her of '...tapestry...' To which I replied 'or silk screen ... or an antique Japanese umbrella.'
So, this happened - thanks to Lisa over at Just us Girls #722 looking for something to do with rain...
The umbrella was cut from Mixed Media paper and stamped with four of the
images from my Hero Arts March Monthly Kit. The sentiment and scripty rub-ons are
included in the kit. Spellbinders: Umbrella Bloom was just the right size and
that's where I found those little blooms 'raining' down.
I think I got by with a little help from my friends! Thanks, ladies!

You talked about wanting a hounds tooth umbrella, but this one is pretty darn cool! Fabulous card, Michele. Love those little blooms raining down. Thanks for playing along at Just Us Girls!
Oh Michele, you've outdone yourself with this card. I love it!!! Where do I find myself an umbrella like that? I wouldn't mind walking in the rain quite so much if I had an umbrella that looked like this. Beautifully done!
Wow! Beautiful card. Love how you were inspired.
Love the scene umbrella- So clever!
What would we do without our friends?!! They sure got the juices flowing along with your talent Michele, and this card turned out absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I wouldn't mind walking in the rain either if I had an umbrella like this!! Your colors, the falling blooms, the rub-ons...one lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Unique and beautiful, almost as much as you! Another great and interesting card, Friend
When you mentioned the umbrella I never thought you'd actually make one, Michele. It's always great when you can use those kits in different ways and you did a brilliant job with this one. So glad a simple comment led you to join us at Just Us Girls.
Another reason I love umbrellas -- just look how beautiful this is! It's wonderful how Bobby's comment and your musings led you to this. The flowers raining down are a pretty addition. Still wondering what the writing says...
Ooh, this makes my heart happy, what a gorgeous design, the umbrella is genius!
How creative to make a scene on the umbrella...and such a beautiful one at that! Very cool layout and elements! So glad you decided to play with us at Just Us Girls this week!
Ooh, I want an umbrella like this, Michele! And I don't care what the rub-on says. It looks fantastic!
So cool!
Oh that umbrella is fabulous! So pretty! And who knew that rub ons would be making a comeback! Perfect one on this card!
I whole heartily agree with everyone else, that umbrella is the bomb! Wonderfully creative card, Michele.
Michele I do not have enough words to express how wonderful your card is!! So much wow and what you combined and how stylish it is! My friend you have done something unexpected!!
Such an exotic interpretation of the cue word! And I sure wish I had an umbrella like that!
