Flower Umbrella

Today is the first challenge of my new challenge blog "The Stinkin' Inkers". This is a month long challenge and the theme is "Showers of Flowers". 

Here is my creation:

First I used light blue card stock to create the sky, then added a strip of designer paper to make the ground behind the fence.

The fence as created with my Memory Box fence die and adhered with clear glue.

 I created the umbrella by die cutting a circle with my Big Shot and one of my Nestibilities circle dies. Once I had the circle I cut it in half, then folded it in half and then in half again and cut a semi-circle in the bottom. I attached the umbrella by using a glue runner to add adhesive to both sides. Next I added a 1/8th inch by 3" strip to create the handle of the umbrella and added a bow to the top.

The paper flowers (purchased at Michael's) were adhered with glue dots. Then I added the sentiment from Fun Stampers Journey "Wonderful Day" stamp set.
