You Are my Sunshine - Try Stampin' on Tuesday or Not #328

The sketch challenge this week with Try Stampin' on Tuesday or Not #328 has an optional theme of  "Summertime Heat", a very suitable theme considering some of the hot days we have been experiencing.
The sketch this week is by Donna.

 

When it's really hot outside I visualize floating on a lake on some sort of floating device. My happiest moments were spent floating on an inner tube.  This card is a take of that vision. 

The card base is  Very Vanilla, layered with Serene Scenery DSP - a piece that looks like a body of water.

The art piece is a tag notched at one end with the Triple Punch. On it I build the "floating" scene, using the High Tide stamp set and die cuts from the Layering Seasonal Framelits.  A strip of Old Olive cardstock was snipped to mimic grass. A rather big 3D lady bug climbs up on the floating tag to join in the relaxation action.

The sentiment is from "Sunshine Sayings"

The art piece is adhered to the card front using dimensionals.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  High Tide, Sunshine Sayings
Inks:  Crumb Cake, Marina Mist, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point, Old Olive, Black Memento
