A Perfect Vacation

 Hello everyone  today, I am sharing a card that I made in honor of summer approaching.
  Thoughts of the beach and summer days spent there inspired this project.  I hope you like it!

I began this card by securing the striped card stock to my card base with the Best Glue Ever. 

  I also have a large No Clog Writing Cap on my glue bottle.  It helps reduce waste by providing more control and you only need a tiny amount and the stick is fantastic!

I made an large embellishment for the top of my card by attaching a piece of card stock from the Graphic 45 collection called Sun Kissed to a piece of ribbon.  I used foam tape on the back of the card stock for dimension, and secured the ribbon to my card with glue dots made from the 

Best Glue Ever. I added some coordinating orange sequin trim to the sides of my card stock as well. Three royal blue sequins were added to both sides also and I added clear crystal stickles from White Rose Crafts to the beach image.

For the middle of my card I cut out two flags from the same paper collection and attached them to the card next to each other with the Best Glue Ever.  I added a blue sequin at the points of each flag for interest, and placed them perfectly by using Embellie Gellie  I used a 2 and a half inch circle punch and punched out a circle from some jellyfish paper from my stash.  Using a distress ink pad, I stamped my sentiment, which reads " a perfect vacation".  Finishing my card off, I used glue dots made from the Best Glue Ever to secure  two small shells and a piece of sea stone to my card.  

Making this card has made me want to go to the beach and have a perfect vacation myself!  I hope it has inspired you to dream of the beach and create something beachy too.  It was easy with the help of the products from ScraPerfect and White Rose Crafts.  The design for this card was provided by the White Rose Crafts Blog as it is their Sketch Challenge for May.  I will be entering my card in this challenge.

Until Next Time,

Kim
