Card Creating Tuesday - Sketch

Hello all my crafty friends!!

Today is the last week of June, and my

final sketch.  Let me tell, you this one had

to be the hardest!!  When I saw this sketch, I thought

OMG, I have to make a waterfall card!!

Well I have never made a waterfall or for that fact

any other special type of card. (easel, gate fold, etc.)

So what was I gonna do???  Well to the web of course!!

My first and only stop was Splitcoast Stampers.

If you have never been to this site, you need to check

it out!!  There are all kinds of tutorials.

Here is the one that I used:

At first it looked intimidating, but it ended up being pretty easy

and I am thrilled with the results!!

Here is the sketch:

And here is a sneak peek of my card!!

These sunglasses were cut at .70" from Forever Young.

I added some gems in the corner and

glossy accents to the lenses.

Next, the bathing suit was cut

from Nifty Fifties at 3.40"

I placed each piece on a seperate panel.

Lastly the flip flops are from

Life is a Beach cut at 2".

All the paper except the card base is from

my scrap pile.  The adorable paper used on the

card base is Imaginisce Makin' Waves.

This paper is so cute, and I was lucky enough to

recieve a few sheets, in a recent order from

Erica's Craft Room Store

The sentiment is from K Andrew's Splastastic Summer

I stamped it on to A Spellbinders Classic Large Square.

Here is a quick video showing the action!!

Boy is it hard to record with your phone and

pull the tab on a waterfall card...LOL!!

(man my hands look old...LOL)

I hope you enjoyed my card as

much as I enjoyed making it!!
