Summer's Last Hurrah

Hello and welcome.  I'm still trying to focus on something other than my elevated pain levels, so today I'd like to share with you a card I made for a few challenges using the retired Summer Pin Up digi from Simply B Stamps.

After printing my image onto white card stock and coloring using both prismacolor and copic markers, I stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink and Adirondack caramel ink around the image before layering onto scrap card stock.  I then stamped the saying in memento black and added some silver brads.  For my card, I added some scrap wave designer paper before adding two die cut wave borders sponged with buckaroo blue ink.  I then adhered my layered image over the sponged waves.  The final embellishments were a Jolee's beach umbrella die cut sticker from my never before used stuff stash (NBUS) and a few waterfall dew drops.
