Hello! I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #49.
I used the sketch and the colors to create a CAS, beach-themed card (not ready to say “good bye” to summer quite yet!):
I trimmed the Beach Border with the one of the Stitched Square Stacklets dies after stamping the cardstock with a sentiment from Simply Succulents Stamp & Die Combo in Sugar Cube ink.
I had this card all assembled with a white strip (rather than the patterned paper) and it looked a little blah, so I flipped through my stack of patterned paper and pulled out this fun Echo Part print to add just a touch of whimsy! I also dry-embossed the background cardstock with the On the Spot embossing folder to add interest and texture. (I find that if there are multiple layers in a card design, it always helps to add some patterned paper and dry-embossing!)

Great take on the sketch! Love that die, and I like that you cut it in red!
Fun card! I like how you cut the Beach Border down using the stitched square die. Great idea!
The stitched edging is very effective Jean. Great colour combinations with the background strip of paper. Great job!
So summery!
