Thought this would be a fun card to share during our rainy season. After all, “April showers do bring May flowers.” I also want to mention the “paper piecing” technique I used on the umbrella. You simply stamp the image on designer series paper, fussy cut out the image, and then adhere it directly onto the fully stamped image which is already stamped on another piece of card stock. It’s like playing with paper dolls.
