cheer up!

cheer up
card design was based on the sketch in retro sketches #117 (which again, I was late for submission) - the colour combination was based on colourQ challenge #244


this was a tough challenge as this colour combo is not one that I would naturally use for my cards - having completed the card though, I have changed my mind, the orange and olive colours really add punch to the sedate shades of blue

the kite and cloud stamp is from Paper Smooches - Cut Loose stamp, and I used the Clouds Dies to do some inlay die-cutting for all the clouds

hello sunshine!

hello sunshine
3 umbrellas on the ground ... perfect to signify the end of rain and sunshine ahead ... 

CFC131: Three Thirds? The idea is to use three of something, could be colors, sequins, etc
on just 1/3 of the card, and keep it clean and simple.

Card colour palette is based on ColourQ challenge #239

The pretty umbrella stamps come from Penny Black's April Showers stamp set.
