STAMPede Stampin' Challenge #2

This month I thought I would offer a sketch and a color challenge. Feel free to do one or the other, or even both in one card. Most of all this should be fun and no pressure. Need to change something up a little, please do so. These challenges are meant to inspire you!

I used the challenge as my Step It UP! inspiration. I made three cards using the sketch and color challenge. You can click HERE for the video. Here are the cards I made:

And here are the design team's cards:

On this next one, Kris used the sketch but worked with different colors:

Thursday.......Clean & Simple

My sewing is a little wonky on this card, but I don't mind. I think it works with the playful patterns.

A small little detail that you might miss if I don't point it out... I stamped the image on watercolor paper and stamped the umbrella again on the flower printed paper. I cut it out and adhered it to the watercolor paper. For a final touch I painted the interior of the umbrella with pool party ink. You can still see a faint flower on the inside but it is much darker. 

I used:

Paper: Crumb Cake CS #120953, Watercolor Paper #122959, Domestic Goddess DSP #122355

Stamps: Lean On Me #122285
