Another monochrome card

This card is for a few of challenges.
If the shoe fits - Rain or Shine
A Spoonful of Sugar - Recipe 3 Papers 3 Buttons
ABC Challenge - U - Unused.
CCEE Stampers - Nursery Rhyme (This makes me think of Dr Foster went to Gloucester in a shower of rain)
I paperpieced this little chap's umbrella with Cuddly Buddly Patchwork papers, purple, and used a couple of others from the set in the background.
This set of Nesties labels has sat unused on the shelf, for a very long time, so the challenge from ABC gave me the spur to get them out and use them. The ribbon was from a brand new spool, so that was 'unused' too.
It's surprising how much I seem to get behind after spending a couple of days away from home babysitting!
I'll catch up somehow!
