Today's Technique Lover's Challenge is to use pattern in your work...at least 3 different ones. I don't know about you, but for my mind, I love seeing patterns everywhere.
I happened to have bought a sheet of Graphic 45's 'Birdsong' paper yesterday, the umbrellas. When I saw it, I thought those umbrellas would be really cool to cut out. So that was the beginning of my card. 4 of the umbrellas have different prints on them, the others slightly different color hues.
The sentiment is one of Tim Holtz. The chalkboard effects I've been seeing looked very interesting, so I gave it a try with this one. I like that it is a disheveled look. I realize my card supports the whole thought behind the sentiment...I just love it when things like that fall into place.
Hope there is enough time for making things this week, whether paper, food, or garden things! Thanks for having a look.

Wonderfully done! I have missed your cards (my computer has been on the fritz and life has been pulling me away which I know you understand very well). I love how your cards have such meaning and require thought to fully enjoy. The chalkboard effect is so great and I love all those umbrellas. The cutting of them so illustrates your sentiment. Many hugz to you!
