It time to play with the Pals at Pals Paper Arts! The talented Margaret Moody has once again worked her magic in designing this fabulous sketch for us. Of course, I just had to ink up another image from the Occasions Mini, this time opting for the Parasol from Rue Des Fleurs. I paired it up with two patterns from the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper Collection, and added a snippet of Baja Breeze Pleated Satin Ribbon. I hope you enjoy “A Parasol for the Pals”!
This card measures 5-1/2″ wide by 4-1/4″ long.
- Glitter anyone? The edges of the Parasol from Rue Des Fleurs and the Boho Blossoms punched flowers were covered with Tombow Adhesive and sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds for a shower of shine!
- Pearls for pizzazz! Pearls are “pearl-fect” for flower centers and for trimming the edge of a parasol. The Daffodil Delight blossom sports a new Large Pearl from the Occasions Mini.
- Perfect Pleats! 3/8″ Pleated Satin Ribbon in beautiful Baja Breeze looks fabulous atop a Riding Hood Red pattern from the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper Collection. Both of these products will be available January 4th.
- A die to die for! Who can resist the Labels Collection Framelits Dies! They pack even more of a visual punch when paired with a Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, such as Perfect Polka Dots!
I hope you enjoyed today’s card. It is always fun using new products! I LOVE the new pleated ribbon, and of course, the Framelits. And I can’t wait to share even more of the products from the Occasions Mini with you! So what do you think of the new products, so far? Let me know in your comment today. And remember, if you have any questions about the cards that I make or the techniques that I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…

Oh Ann, I LOVE this! Fabulous mix of all those vintage elements but the color combo is so fresh and modern! Those sweet little flowers look sugar coated and the dazzling trim on the umbrella is sooooo stylish! Wonderful card, my friend! ((hugs))
OMGosh!!!! This is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I am IN LOVE!!!!
GASP! GASP! GASP! (That’s me, gasping for air after seeing this stunner of a card!) XOXO
Oh my Goodness! I didn’t think it was possible; but that card i even MORE beautiful as a whole than the peek I am IN LOVE with this stamp set!!! Thanks for sharing and giving a chance to win.
We all figured one of your first cards would include the new bigger pearl. You didn’t dissapoint us on that! How fun! When I saw that stamp, I also figured it would have to be on one of your first cards as well. Same for the paper! Now, for what else you will come up, not sure but I bet the tea cup stamp will come soon! I think I need to make a cup of tea myself and look through the mini and dream up something for the swap. Looking forward to more fun projects! Will one of the new larger pearls decorate some fur? Happy holidays.

Ann this is fantastic! A parasol Santa! There is everything wonderful about this card. I love the top of the parasol. It is magical with the layers and the emboss. And that ribbon…oh, this time you have REALLY done it! The sewing machine? Whewwwwi! Just lovely. Great job of advertising all the goodies. You are so good at that…we never miss a thing thanks to Pearly Ann! Spirited Love for the season Ann. Samara

What I thought looked like the edge of an angel wing turned out to be part of the parasol. 🙂 Very pretty! I love the way you do the ribbon, too!

Hugs, M
the red and white combination in the sneak peek made me think it was a Christmas card, but no! it sure is beautiful! love the riding hood red and the twitterpated dsp!
This makes me want my new Mini TODAY!! The parasol is so unique and different (esp. for SU). I like the color combo you used for this card, and all those glittery accents, and the different sized pearls. Bet THAT makes you a happy camper!
Beautiful! Love the touch of Dazzling Diamonds. I just got it and I am currently obsessed.
What a great card! those dazzling posys are just wonderful, and the sparkly “fringe” on the parasol is so much fun. Love it!
