Today the occasion is a wedding. A bridal shower to be exact. My co-worker asked for a special card for a friend of hers. The theme- April showers and parasols! Say no more! I knew of just the image for the occasion! This is Umbrella Love from A Day For Daisies and it is one of Sami's images (my first purchase from her collection, but definitely not my last!). This cute couple is colored in Copics with a bit of paper piecing on the umbrella. At first the requested pink and navy color scheme had me stumped, but I found some lovely papers in a couple of my My Mind's Eye pads (Moments and Lost & Found Two: Blush) that worked wonderfully! Embellishment-wise there's a little something for everyone on this card: embossing, die cuts, punches, pearls, and flowers! Not to mention a fantastic sketch from Digi Sketch Challenge! They also have an optional challenge of "Rain, Rain, Go Away" as well.
And speaking of showers, I am off now to work on some things for my brother and his fiancee's Jack & Jill shower which is Saturday! Like I said, it's going to get busy around here! I can't believe my baby brother is getting married one month from today!
Markers used: Copics (E11, E00, B32, B34, B37, B39, 100, N0, N4, N8, E23, E25, E37, E39).
