Welcome to Inventory Challenge #80. I can't believe it is my 3rd week of being on the design team! What fun I am having. This weeks challenge was to use Tilda or another image that resembles you and why. I had several choices of stamps I wanted to use, the obvious being Stamping Tilda, but after looking at my Magnolia-liscious stamps I found the perfect one. Tilda holding a Summer Umbrella. There is a story behind my choice. A family tradition that spans several generations.
My mom told me a story on how her mom use to wash ther hair in the rain. My mom also washed my hair outside when it was pouring down rain. That soft spring rain. You know the kind. Not wanted in break the tradition I would take my kids outside and wash their hair. My daughter carried on the tradition and washed Jacobs hair in the rain too. I love family traditions and this one was SO much fun!
After that we would take out our umbrellas and sing in the rain just like in the movies. The sun would come out and dry our hair. We loved playing in the rain and the sun.
I had bought some pretty material and made a flower, I think it turned out so beautiful with the pretty white button in the center. I used a new border punch in the center, diecut the butterflies and the center shape that my image sits on, colored Tilda with my Copic markers, added some pearls and I was done. I hope you enjoy my choice of cards! Love, Elle

Your card is gorgeous and thanks so much for sharing the story about your family's tradition. I loved the movie "Singing IN The Rain" with Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds. Your flower is gorgeous as well!
