Oops, it's late ....

.... Morning all!  Today I've a birthday/spring card to share with you.  I've been rubbish at getting birthday cards sent out on time this year - this one is in the post now and should get to the UK next week!

Stamps: PTI - Scattered Showers, Scattered Showers Additions; Uniko Studio - Extra Time
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Melon Mambo, Gumball Green, Basic Grey
Dies: PTI - Scattered Showers; Lil Inkers - Stitched Rectangles
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU Card - Basic Grey; SU DP - Basic Grey; SU Marker - Melon Mambo; Copic Marker


I've used the colours from Colour Throwdown - CTD#288 and the theme of using an umbrella from The Card Concept - CC#8.  I made the layers by cutting with the Lil Inkers Stitched Rectangle dies - I do like the faux stitched effect.  I stamped the umbrella canopy in green on white card and coloured the flowers with a Copic marker and then fussy cut it out.  I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to position the sentiment and umbrella handle.  I adhered the umbrella canopy flat to the card (easy for posting).  On the inside I cut a mat layer of grey design paper and on the white panel stamped a belated birthday greeting.

I know that I'm perfectly safe sharing this card now as my friend doesn't use the Internet and so won't see it before she receives it!!  However, I really must get my act together and post cards to the UK in plenty of time!!!  That's all for now.

A late arrival will be completely forgiven the moment the envy is opened and this sweet card is revealed! I love the pink flowers paired with the bright green background...truly a color combo that makes me smile! FABULOUS fussy cutting too!
