Frog Umbrella Card by August Guest Designer Kara Pogreba

When I saw the Umbrella Pals Stamp Set, it took me back a few years when my girls were little.  We had a frog umbrella just like the one in the stamp set!  It even made it into the scrapbook back in the day.  I remember how cheerfully that umbrella always stuck out, which gave me the idea for this little pop-up box:

The background was inked twice using the Cloudy Sky stencil and DI Stormy Sky - once with a light hand and once with a heavier hand.  The sentiment was heat embossed onto a die cut from the Framework die set and inked over with a bit of DI Mowed Lawn.

When closed, the card looks like this:

The raindrops from the Umbrella Pals Stamp Set were second and third generation stamped in DI Stormy Sky and Broken China and the panels were inked with a bit more Stormy Sky.

Here was my little inspiration:
