I just could not resist making a quick CAS card based on these Bohemian parasols at today's Inspiration Challenge website, Olive & Cocoa. I used MFT's Umbrella Die-namics and various stamp sets with sponging. The Desert Star image in the middle umbrella was a kind gift from M (Stampmuse) - thanks, M!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE what you have done here. I knew immediately which item was your inspiration piece. I tried one umbrella with the new Dylusions line and I just don't like it yet.
That site was very inspiring, and I am grateful I have some time to look at the site .... play ... and view/comment in the gallery.
BEAUTIFUL card and thanks for your kind comments in my gallery lately.
Oh, Bridget! I ABSOLUTELY love your umbrellas and wonderful sentiment! I might have to CASE you! Now I realize that you stamped the designs and inked them--I thought it was DP!

Waah, why did I not find those parasols when I just got the MFT umbrella die this week! I spotted this earlier - how could I not, it's so striking - but time ran away on me. I like the swirly umbrella the best. I had a terrible time choosing an umbrella at the most amazing umbrella shop in Paris this year - some of the ones I really like were beyond our budget which helped narrow the choice . These beauties would have been right at home in that shop.
