Hello and welcome. Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're sponsored by Gerda Steiner Designs. I would like to thank Gerda for sponsoring this week's challenge. My card this week uses Gerda's Pool Piggies stamps and matching dies. Before I begin, how is it June already and triple digit heat? I am not a fan of the heat and would like my money back please.
I started out by stamping all the images in memento tuxedo black ink before coloring them using my Ohuhu markers. Once the coloring was finished, I die cut the images, and a sun, before adhering them to a card with water designer paper I've had for years and not used up. I then stippled some Tim Holtz wild honey distress ink using a blender brush. The final touches were sequins, highlighting the saying using a black 3D glaze pen and adding stickles to the designer paper for the "waves". I'm really happy with how this turned out since I've been having a lot of health issues lately.

Love Those Pretty Papers June 2026 - Anything Goes (wave paper)
