Crafts Dreamy July Challenge - Umbrella Card

Isn't this the cutest little beach umbrella??? It works perfectly with my sentiment and tropical floral background paper. My card is entered into the Crafts Dreamy July 2018 Challenge.
This card is also entered into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge to use a "die &/or punch." I stamped the summer sentiment with an ombre ink pad and then cut it with a circle punch to make a sun and complete the fun beach card. A $50 voucher is up for grabs for one lucky participant.
