All stamps and paper used are Stampin' Up! The raindrop background is made using a fiskars texture plate. The umbrella was created using a large (2 1/2") Marvy circle punch and trimmed with fiskars cloud (scallop) scissors. The wire handle was taped under the umbrella and then I just made one stitch with clear thread near the curvy part and taped the two ends to the back of the card. The stamped border in the photo is actually darked and a better match than the photo reveals. The message is from a set called sincere salutations and is silver embossed. The baby is from a retired set called baby firsts. I stamped a pattern on the umbrella using a set called background basics. I stamped the baby on the white card using almost amethyst ink and then stamped the baby again on almost amethyst card stock. This allowed me to cut out the outfit and attach it. I got the ribbon from Michaels (Sheer creations brand). One silver brad at the top finished it off. I'm really excided about this card because the baby is a girl and they plan to name her Rain.
