Sumer Time Fun IPC 98

One more week for the current Inky Paws Challenge!

Here is the challenge picture.

With summer just around the corner I reached for

 one of my favorite Newton’s Nook Stamp Sets

NARLY MERMAIDS!

This card starts with the background.

I made” waves” using the

SEA BOARDERS DIE SET!

I kept it simple with light and dark blue paper.

I love the way this die cuts!  Puzzle piecing the waves together

 made it easy to make the perfect background for this card!

For the element in the front, I went with a

simple square die cut, that I die cut a diamond shape into the middle.

On top of that is my mermaid and her friends.

 These are colored in using soft sea colors.

I add some sparkle with purple Stickles.

Also, some confetti gems in the background.

The finishing touch is a sentiment banner I created

using the FRAMES AND FLAGS STAMP SET.

I attached this to my card using shimmery twine.

I hope this inspires you to create something crafty using the challenge sketch.

There is a link in the challenge picture above 

so you can show us what you created.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs
