Stripes and/or Colors

Hello everyone!
Time for a new challenge at House of Cards!
Summer is here and as you can see, our inspiration photo (see below) shows a big parasol!

What interests us for this challenge are its stripes - but of course you can also use umbrellas and the colors of the photo for your creations! ;)

Here's my idea

I stuck masking tapes in regular distance on a white cardstock panel, 

then I sponged the colors (Stampin'Up) starting from the darker to the lighter. 

The cactus  image comes from the set "Au vert" by Scrap Plaisir. - It is colored with felt-tip pens. 

The sentiment is combined from Die cut letters and a tiny Stampin'Up stamp.

I added 3 sequins and few pearl pen dots for a bit more interest! ;)
