Colors of Summer – Beach colors
Hello everyone – I am sharing the card I made in last week’s You Tube Live Colors of Summer – Beach colors.
I started a series several weeks ago titled the Colors of Summer. Each week on a You tube Live I take 3 Summer colors and create a card with it. Here are the colors I used last week.

When I saw these colors I immediately thought of the beach and seashells. Pulled in the embossing folder I use to mimic waves. After embossing the Pool Party panel I added it to the card base. The sand was made by tearing the edge of a piece of Crumb Cake. Sand at the edge of the water is wet and therefore darker. The edge of the Crumb Cake was sponged with ink. Add some shells, a sentiment, and some gems and your card is ready to pop in the mail. Here is the finished card.
