It's Michelle's birthday this week and Sweet and Sassy Stamps January Release reveal today - Michelle asked us to give her a birthday present by using our favorite things on a card - well, silhouettes are just about my favorite thing ever, and I have a thing for umbrella images, so I just had to bring this card to Michelle's birthday party! Other FAVORITE THINGS on my card are twine and October Afternoon dp - the little flowers and red gingham have been hoarded for that very reason!
This is a brand new set created for SNSS by Dina Kowal (dini). It's so fun because besides the silhouettes, there's an extra little umbrella image for paper piecing and coloring, like I did here.

I distressed all edges for vintage look and added a little pennant banner in the corner!

The combination of dp on this is awesome...anything with gingham always catches my eye! Your silhouette image under the multi colored umbrella is so cute!

This is spectacular! What a beautiful combination of papers/colors with that wonderful silhouette. Love the pennant touch as well, and the great sketch you used.

This card is special in so many ways! I love the aged newsprint, and the silhouette stamping on it. Love the ink distressing on the wonderful sentiment. Love the lace and the banner with hearts, the colored umbrella, as well as the tiny black bling.

Oh, so sweet, Bridget! I love those little hearts on the banner and the lace over the scalloped border. The tiny flowers in the dp are so pretty! Great creation!
