What a fun & timely challenge (as the weather alert radio just issued a thunderstorm warning)! Seems IÂ’ve been making a lot of rainbow/umbrella/rain cards lately! But I love umbrellas ..so I wanted to play the challenge.
After coloring & fussy cutting 2 umbrellas (one to pop up on top), I took a piece of white card stock & cut a bunch of bands using large & small petite oval dies then colored them individually w/ Copics. After putting them back together, I added a white layer w/ a circle cut out on top & added the greeting & some raindrops.
I added the umbrella & some stickles on the raindrops & where the bands of the rainbow come together. For the frame, I took the piece I cut the white layer out of, colored it to match my rainbow then put it back around the white layer.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups, Copic colors & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

I don't know how you come up with so many great ideas. The 3D umbrella is so great looking and I love the thin rainbow border around the card. The gorgeous rainbow circle is breathtaking. What a fun, happy card.
