This is my card for the teapot party this week - we get to tickle another teapotter. This is so much fun! Our challenge this week was to be prepared for rain and bring arks, umbrellas, galoshes etc. Since I've had no need for an umbrella lately, I thought the birds might like to use it.
Super simple card - everything is die cuts. I embossed the clouds and added Wink of Stella to the raised areas; also added some to the Leaves and to the dotted panels of the umbrella. One of the clouds, one of the birds, and the branch are on a dimensional of some type - foam tape or rolled up glue dots. The handle of the umbrella is hooked over the branch and the umbrella itself is attached flush to the base.
This was a fun card to make and I hope the recipient gets a tickle or a giggle from it.
As always, thanks for looking!

Jody, This card is just too cute. I love that you used the umbrella for the birds nest and the embossing on the clouds, and your tree branch are all so perfect together. I don't know what "wink of stella" is, but the whole card just makes me smile. Love your card.... gail

Well, glad you did not need your umbrella today and found a good use for it for the tea party. How sweet to see these cute birds "nesting" in it under a swirly cloud kind of day!! Great quick and easy CAS card!! Too cute!

Jody, this is super-fun! I love those little birds peeping up out of their umbrella nest. But with those clouds in the sky, I hope you don't turn out to need the umbrella yourself!

Hi Jody... I did the happy dance last week - when I opened the envelope... I love the sweet scene you created with the die cuts... The closer one looks at it, the more one sees, the sparkle, dimension, textured clouds, umbrella bird bath... wonderfully done... I love, love, love it and the pretty papers you sent as well.... Hugs..Pat
