Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #681: Rolling Waves

Good morning!

When it's really hot I find it's the perfect time to head to the studio (mine's in the basement so it's nice and cool) so I'm back to play along with this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge.  Of course I decided to letter the summer heat and vibes influence me on this weeks card along with some of the great products in July's Online Exclusives release.

This card starts with Pool Party for the card base and I added a piece of Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper that's matted with Basic Black cardstock.  I used different patterns from the same paper pack for the three flags along the bottom and wrapped a piece of Black 3/8" Iridescent Ribbon around the top.

For the main image I took a piece of Basic White cardstock and matted with Basic Black before stamping the greeting from the Rolling Waves stamp set on the bottom in Basic Black ink (that's the only stamping on this card!).  The Summer Happiness Washi tape is a sleeper hit in my opinion, the images on the tape match up with the Summer Happiness dies so I just added the washi tape to a piece of Basic White cardstock and then cut out a whole bunch of pieces (I actually have a little stack of extras for future projects).  I did use dimensionals to pop up the flip flops and flower.  The final touch was to add some embellishments from the Array of Dots as the perfect finishing touch.

This card is so bright and cheery, perfect for a summer birthday!  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing and we would love for you to play along and share what you create.
