Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #19

(2nd post for today - scroll up and down for more)

I'm back with the card I made for the Raspberry Suite Color Challenge. The colors this time around were: Raspberry Fizz, Dark Chocolate, Spring Moss, Lavender Moon and Aqua Mist. Normally challenges with so many colors intimidate me, however I had the brilliant idea to revisit my beloved umbrellas and paperpiece one with 3 of the colors! How cool is that? I've never done any paperpiecing before and I am so tickled by the way this turned out. After I put the umbrella together, I topped it with some Glossy Accents. My sentiment is from Scattered Showers Additions, and I can't remember if my bling was Zva or Prima, but I do know that the perfect matching Raspberry Fizz bling on the ribbon is from Kaisercraft!
