The challenge at Fab Friday this week is to use all five of the new In Colors. Now this IS a challenge, because (a) I've only just got the new in-colors and (b) I only like one of them yet. So I decided to make myself use them in the hopes I would like more than just Lost Lagoon!
This card was originally going to be my Freshly Made Sketches DT card until I realised I hadn't followed the sketch. Doh!
I used a new-to-me set called April Showers from Clearly Besotted. I've been wanting this set ever since it came out and I love it!
I die cut the umbrella then stamped it with Tangelo Twist, Hello Honey and Mossy Meadow. I colored the handle with a blender pen and some Mossy Meadow ink. The sentiment was stamped using Blackberry Bliss ink. The raindrops use Lost Lagoon as does the die cut tile pattern. I finished the card with some orange twine.
Thanks for looking.
Products used:
Stamps: April Showers (Clearly Besotted)
Ink: Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Hello Honey, Tangelo Twist, Blackberry Bliss, Memento Tuxedo Black
Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White, Lost Lagoon
Accessories: April Showers die, American Crafts twine, Piestra Tile Die (Memory Box)
Edited to Add: This card was a Fab Fave at Fab Friday.

Great card Karren! You've used the new in colours beautifully. I'm not sure if I'm sold on them yet either! I love that sweet umbrella and the rain drops! Such a great sentiment!
Another stunning card,Karren!! Love the umbrella and the raindrops!! The colors are beautiful!! My favorites of them i think would be Blackberry Bliss and the Lost Lagoon...so beautiful these two!!!
That's quite a challenge using all of the colors but you pulled it off beautifully!
Karren, I couldn't love this umbrella image more. What a great way to incorporate these new colors! Thanks for playing along with the Fab Friday color challenge.
Well done! I love the raindrops and the different colored panels on the umbrella. This card is sure to brighten someone's day! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
I love your use of the colors and hope that it helped you to "warm up" to the new colors. I love way you used the different colors on the umbrella and the Blackberry Bliss pattern stamped on the Lost Lagoon card stock. Thanks for joining us at Fab Friday!
I just love the umbrella! It reminds me of Florida summer (it rains literally every day during the summer). You did a great job! Thanks so much for joining us at Fab Friday!
