Umbrella Bloom

Dia daoibh!

September has rolled in like it owns the place. One minute you are minding your own business and the next thing the calendar is waving at you saying “Right, time to get organised.” The craft desk of course took that as a sign to do the exact opposite and produce more paper scraps than a confetti cannon at a parade.

Today’s card is for Ally’s Angels Challenge #110, where the theme is always Anything Goes. Which is the best kind of theme really. No rules, no stress, just pure crafty fun. Do pop over and check out the Design Team creations because they are absolutely amazing and full of inspiration.

For my card I used the Spellbinders Umbrella Bloom die set. I kept everything CAS, letting the die cut do all the talking. Sometimes the cardstock just wants a simple life and I am happy to support that. For embellishments I only added a little Glossy Accents and a few flatback pearls for a bit of shine. Just enough sparkle to keep things interesting but not enough to require protective goggles. The sentiment is from Tonic Studios and I stamped it with Versafine ink. Versafine behaves beautifully, which is more than can be said for the pile of craft supplies currently plotting a takeover of my desk.

Now it is your turn to join the fun. The theme is Anything Goes, so grab your stamps, dies, glitter, glue, yarn, paper or whatever crafty goodies you have nearby and come play along with us at Ally’s Angels Challenge. We would love to see your creations in the gallery.

And remember… if your craft desk looks like a paper explosion happened… congratulations. You are doing it correctly.

Sláinte,
