This is for CAS17, an inspiration challenge. The inspiration is from the Lands end catalog, beach towels and totes. I was inspired by this tote bag: http://www.landsend.com/pp/RollUpMar...4&origin=index
I used the turquoise multi striped tote. I had to make my own paper since I didn't have any striped paper that had the right colors. I made the 3x3 tote bag following the tutorial from the last issue of the SCS Inkings and set of matching 3x3 note cards. I paper pieced the umbrellas with the homemade paper. The stamps are both from $1 clear stamps from Michaels. I cut out the image with my nestabilities and adhered it on dimensionals. I used an EK Success scallop border punch.
