It's my pleasure to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS776) this week, so a big congrats to Jo Ann! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the umbrella & watercolor bg, but used different dies, colors, layout & made mine a get well card.
My card started w/ a small piece of a leftover watercolor bg. It reminded me of a rainy day & I thought it would go well w/ my umbrella die & get well theme. I popped it up a bit & backed it w/ a lg pink layer. The white frame was made by die cutting it first w/ the stitched layer, then using a smaller die to cut out the center. It's also popped up. I die cut the umbrella using a piece of white (for the narrow layer) & a lg paint chip that had several shades of pink. Only the center of the top part is elevated.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ more pics & links: The Write Stuff

Julie, this is a great case of Jo Ann's card. I love the soft pink and blue color combination. The watercolor background is amazing and is the perfect background for your gorgeous umbrella. Your layering of the frame and background makes everything pop! I ADORE this.
