Have you found some time to make an
April Showers Bring May Flowers Themed Project
and enter it in the Great Impressions April Challenge?
Just because a stamp is a border stamp, doesn't mean you can't use it for other purposes. Here I used the stamp as the flower border at the bottom of the card (heat embossed in gold, watercolored and fussy cut) and also as the umbrella pattern (stamped twice, watercolored, and heat embossed with clear embossing powder to give it a shiny vinyl look).
I started out making a yellow umbrella, then a pink umbrella, then a pale blue umbrella, and finally decided on the blue umbrella above.
What do you think? Did I choose correctly? Would anyone like a leftover umbrella?
Here's a tip to prevent your adhesive from showing when working with velum.
First, attach any items that will be on top of the velum.

First, attach any items that will be on top of the velum.
Turn
it over and place your adhesive on the velum behind those items. When
you glue the velum down whatever adhesive you used will be hidden.
We look forward to seeing your projects for the
April Great Impressions Stamps Blog Challenge.
You have until the end of the month to enter.
