Challenge #415 - Sketch~ Swirly Frames, Under my umbrella, So Happy Together, Stampin up

This is not at all where I intended to go with 

this little card today.  I included a picture at 

the bottom here of the original card I started.

But it seemed so sad and depressing I scratched 

that idea and went in a different direction.  

I do this a lot.  Does anyone else relate? 

For the two circles I used the same ink, I just

stamped off before stamping the smaller one.  

I wanted to give some contrasting color between

the two.  

Then came the lily pads placement, I mean Mr. Frog

had to sit on something.  So quite and effort to 

not cover up the  whole circle.  

I really love how it looks like his little frog hand

is actually holding the umbrella.  It was perfect.  

I'm going to submit this card to the challenge at:

CAS Colours & Sketches

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Swirly Frames 

Stampin Up:  Under My Umbrella

Stampin Up:  So Hoppy Together 

There it is folks.  The sad start of a card.  

It just seems depressing to me 😢

So let's cheer things up again.  

Here are the containers I decorate with 

my lovely daisy duct tape.  They hold

my alcohol markers perfectly.  

I don't make an effort to line up the 

daisies, because that actually don't bother me.

So weird since I'm quite OCD over 

many things.  I mean I count my stamps,

 and dies to make sure that none go missing.  

Just a little glimpse into how my brain is wired. 

haha 

And look how grand they stack.  It's a 

wonderful way to recycle these lovely

containers.. and the yellow matches 

the center of my daisies beautifully.
