Hey y'all! It's Lissa again! I got back from vacation just in time to post on the Craftin' Desert Divas blog again! I'm sharing a card I made using a couple of the new sets from the July release! I just can't get enough of these cuties! Plus, since I just got back from vacation, I really need to send a thank you note to my parents who hosted us for almost 2 weeks! So, that's what this is for! The hippo is my Mom watching my two kiddos swim, like she always does every summer.

I decided to make my own frame using the large scallop from Fancy Frames dies. I then measured in 1/8" from the stitching to make the interior of my frame. I used some Distress Oxide inks to make my background. To make the waves, I inked up some vellum and then cut it using the waves (or clouds) die from the .


As you can see, I added a double layer of foam adhesive to give it some pop in different areas! Part of the umbrella is popped up so it hangs over the frame.
