This card features one of my favorite sentiments from the Beautiful You stamp set by Stampin' Up!  The girl holding the umbrella is also from that set.  It is a quick & easy card to make using a strip of your favorite designer series paper and matching it with a piece of solid color cardstock and coordinating ink.  This is an A2 size card.
