Card Details:
Card Base is Whisper White 12 x 12 Cardstock cut to 6 in x 12 in and scored / folded at 6 in to make a square card.
Take Flirty Flamingo 3/8″ Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and cut it into two-8 inch strips. Adhere to the inside of the card with Fast Fuse Adhesive.
Using the other half of your Whisper White 12 x 12 Cardstock , cut it down to two pieces of 5 5/8 x 5 5/8 in. Adhere one to the inside of the card to cover the Ribbon Ends. Adhere the other to the top of the Card Base with StampinÂ’ Dimensionals.
Cut a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock to 5.5 in x 5.5 in. Create the watercolor background by tapping the edge of the Night of Navy Ink Pad to a piece of acetate. Spray it with water using a StampinÂ’ Spritzer until the ink starts to pool a little. (About 5 sprays). Carefully flip it over and touch it to the Shimmery White Cardstock lifting and re-touching until you get the coverage you are looking for. You may need to repeat this entire step if more coverage is needed. Tip: If water drips from the acetate as you are turning it over to apply it, you have added too much water.
Stamp all images (Umbrellas, Umbrella Handles, Clouds and Sentiments) onto Shimmery White Cardstock with Basic Black Archival Ink. Color the images with an Aqua Painter and the following Classic Inks: Night of Navy, Lemon-Lime Twist, Flirty Flamingo and Smoky Slate. Quickly crop each image with the coordinating framelits dies and the Big Shot (be sure to use the Magnetic Platform to ensure the die is held firmly in place).
Strategically adhered images to the card with StampinÂ’ Dimensionals.
Cut 8 inches of Night Of Navy Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and bunch it up. Adhere it to the card with StampinÂ’ Dimensionals. Tip: I put the dimensionals on the card first and then added the ribbon, bunching it as I adhered it.
Wrap a bunch of Silver Metallic Thread around three fingers, then pull it off and twist it a bit. Adhere it to the back of the flagged sentiment and then adhere that to the bunched ribbon.
Trim the “I’m Here For You” sentiment closely and adhere with snipped Stampin’ Dimensionals.

You are so inspiring. I've vacillated about this set for two long. I'm convinced now that it belongs in my collection. Only hope I can make beautiful cards like you do.
