Here's the Design Team:

For today's project featuring Umbrellas & Fans, I went with a black/purple theme.  After stamping my own background and border, I stamped the main fan image in memento lulu lavender ink before layering and popping up over the stamped border.  The only embellishments I added were some punched butterflies and flowers highlighted with ice stickles.

 Come on back tomorrow for more creativity.

    Gorgeous card. I love the colour - purple is my favourite and the watermark style stamping on the background is fab.

    Pretty. Fond of lavender so I like the color choice. Like Butterflies so I like your Butterfly embellishments.

    Butterflies and umbrellas--they look great together. And I am hooked on purple right now. In fact, I am using up all my purple paper in my stash. TFS!
