This week at
it's Doni's (who has come back to the DT - yay!!) turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Save Me From April Showers!" which means she would like to see an umbrella on your project. Perfect for our weather 'round here in midwestern Ontario....and you need a warm coat too!
This is what I did....
....yep, I did something out of the ordinary for me.....I made a one layer card! I know, I know...teeeeechnicaaaaaally, there is a bit of patterned paper as well as a lil glitter fun foam heart, so it's really not completely one layer.....but I'm gonna call it one layer anyway. So there. (:
It's also something different for me because those stamps....they're not digis, they're clear stamps. I KNOW! They're from The Cat's Pajamas, and you gotta guess something. Guess how many times I had to stamp the bear image and the sentiment to get that nice clean, all filled in look. One time! I KNOW! Had it in my Misti and was just going to automatically ink up the stamps for a second go-round when I realized I didn't need to. I don't know about you, but I find that really rare. Granted, most of my clear stamps are cheapies, both in price and quality, so maybe one-and-done stamping happens more often than I realize. I scored a lot of The Cat's Pajamas stamps when they made the switch to digi, I should really get to inking them up....especially when it's this easy.
So, why not give our challenge a go this week and join us? And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

Such an adorable card - and amazing job with the stamping, especially with the solid black parts!! We must have had the same craft winds blowing ideas into our brains. We both have pandas with umbrellas and a similar layout!! No wonder I think your card is fantastic! :)
