The Card Concept Challenge #198 Summer Time Fun!

Welcome to a new Challenge Inspiration starting today at the

CARD CONCEPT!

I have just received my Graphic 45 Kit of the month and

 I thought it would be perfect for this nautical challenge!

Here is my card:

 I chose to use the Clean & Layered style for my card:

~Designer papers, embossing

~Clean lines

~Embellishments/accents

~Clean & Fresh looking

~Some colored images

~White space

I made the middle background panel with Distress inks and a sponge dauber.

Then I placed the mermaid and shells ephemera pieces onto it.

I am in love with the gorgeous papers in this Graphic 45 Collection!

I hope I have inspired you to join our challenge!
