Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #685: You're the Best

Good morning,

We are away at the beach this week and I love beach vacations since you truly get to relax and reset.  Of course I always take some craft projects with me as they are relaxing as well.  Today I'm sharing the card I made for this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge.  We have a friend in a competition soon so I made this to give to let her know how proud we are.

This card uses Cloud Cover cardstock for the casebase and then I embossed the Basic Black cardfront with the new, coming in September, Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder (love the texture.

Next I used the Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper for both patterned papers (love how there's a sheet with little scenes perfectly sized for 3x4 or 4x6 to make cardmaking and memory keeping super easy!).  Next I used the Sweet Bugs bundle to stamp the little ants marching (they look like they are celebrating my friend, haha!) and colored them in with Stampin' Blends before cutting them out with the coordinating dies and attaching to the card with dimensionals.

The greeting is from the You're the Best stamp set and was stamped in Poppy Parade ink on Petal Pink cardstock before being cut out with the Stitched Shapes dies and attached with dimensionals.  The final touch was to add some Shimmering Dots as accents.

This card is so cute, I can't wait to see how my friend likes it.  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing for inspiration, and we would love for you to play along and share what you create!
