Inspiration from an ad

In this Sunday's paper, we got a Publix ad and I loved the color combination and thought it would be great on a card:
I thought the brown was a great neutral with the teal and bright green and those flowers look so happy.  The weekly challenge at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge is to use an umbrella and I pulled out my April Showers cartridge.  All of the cut elements on my card are from that cartridge - the butterflies, cloud, flowers and umbrella:
 
The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.  I embossed the umbrella with the Swirls cuttlebug folder and inked around the cloud with a gold pen.  The bottom brown edge is from an EK Success punch.
 
Cutting and putting the flowers together was a bit time-consuming, but I wanted the umbrella full of flowers.  I'm also submitting this card for this week's OWH Mid-week throwdown Bugs Life.
 
Happy Wednesday everyone!
