I die cut an oval in the front panel and then created a frame using the same dies.  I stamped the image onto white card and adhered it to the back of the oval shape which I had previously cut,

 

To complete the back of this first panel, I embossed a piece of the packaging and added it to the panel to hide the workings.

 

Next I die cut another oval from one of the backing papers, added a different backing paper behind and adhered to the third panel.

 

I then die cut the parasol on white card and added to the front of the third panel.

 

Finally, I added an insert to the middle panel and voila the card is complete.

 

I didn't add a sentiment to the front so the card can be used for any occasion.
