hello sunshine!

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

also perfect for CAS-ual Fridays CFC 131 challenge - Three Thirds

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.

Thinking of You

I'm a great fan of Magnolia stamps - totally enjoying the lovely images of Tilda and Edwin, which are great for coloring with Copics, water-color and just pure pencils (whatever your 'poison' is!).

I haven't quite mastered though the many layered and highly embellished cards that many Magnolia fans make .... too much going on in the card for me!

Preferring the clean and simple look with the emphasis on the stamped image itself, I couldn't resist the latest Magnolia-licious Tuesday Challenge - CAS (Clean and Simple), and this is the card that I made....

- 'Tilda in Summer Rain' was colored using Caran D'ache Neo Color II water-soluble wax pastels
