Good morning, Friends! It's time for the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday challenge! This week we are being challenged with a sketch. Take a look at this fabulous, very versatile sketch!

I just love the simplicity of this! I had the hardest time trying to figure out how I would use it for this week's challenge because there are SO many possibilities!  I changed by mind three times - lol! Here is what I finally decided on.

I am really loving the fun bright colors in the Sunshine and Sprinkles designer paper! I took a piece of the designer paper and ran it through the Big Shot using the Cloudy Day embossing folder. This ended up being a little tricky as I wanted the clouds to go the right direction and I could only get half the paper in the folder. That part was fine. I thought I could just put the rest of the paper in the folder and run it through again but I ended up having to put more of the paper into the folder causing the middle part to get double embossed. No big deal. With this designer paper, you can't even tell! Cool! So the dsp was adhered to a piece of Whisper White and then a piece of Melon Mambo 3/8" striped organdy ribbon was tie around this. I popped this panel up onto a card base of Whisper White. I stamped the sentiment from Rain or Shine in Basic Grey onto a strip of Whisper White and flagged one end. This is adhered to the card. I cut a piece of Whisper White with the Labels framelits dies and then pierced around the inside of it with the Festive paper piercing pack. Then I stamped the handle of the umbrella in Basic Grey. The label is popped up onto the card. I stamped the top of the umbrella in Melon Mambo onto a scrap of Whisper White and cut it out. This is popped up onto the card. I used the itty bitty shapes punch pack to punch a flower from Daffodil Delight and adhered it to the umbrella and added a rhinestone.
