Hello Sunshine!

Summer is in full swing, so it's the perfect time to celebrate with this oversized beach ball card made with a new Trinity Stamps summer release. And if the beach ball doesn’t have you dreaming of the shore, the palm trees and sandy scene just might.

This card would work beautifully for all kinds of occasions.

For the background on this card, I cut a piece of white cardstock to 5.25" x 4.0" and used the Puffy Clouds Layers Stencil with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide. I ink blended a little Tea Dye Distress Oxide Ink on the bottom inch of the cardstock to give it the illusion of sand.  

I used the new Tiny Island Die Set to cut out the sandy hill and the two palm trees.  I used Distress Oxide Ink to dust up the edges to give them a little dimension.

The beach ball was cut out using two different colors of cardstock using the new Beach Ball Circle Card Add On Die Set.  I dusted the edges of the ball pieces with Distress Oxide Ink.

The "hello" is cut from white and hot pink cardstock using the Simply Sentimental: Hello Coordinating Die Set.  I like to layer die cut lettering to give them a little dimension - it's a small detail that really makes the lettering pop!  The word "sunshine" is from the Sunshine Die Cut Set.  I layered those also.  

To add a little summer sparkle to my card, I added a few bits of confetti from the Electric Parade Confetti embellishment mix.  

Doesn't this card just make you want to go to the beach or maybe the pool?
