I Heart Summer - Color Dare #552 "Inspiration Photo"

This is my Design Team project for ColorMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #552 "Summer Inspiration Photo" partnering with Double Trouble Challenge #140 "On a Warm Summer's Day" with Twisted Sister's optional twist to "include a flip flop".  

In my stash of stamp sets last year's June SOTM "I Heart Summer" had lots of Summer images which could be used for a seashore project along with the CTMH "Beach Party".  Stamped a couple of the images from Beach party; but then I put the whole stamp set for "I Heart Summer" as it sat on the plastic in my Misti and stamped the full set and when I pulled it out it seemed perfect to use all the border images and sentiments for my card... so "Beach Party" stamps were put aside.  

I pulled out my Copic Sketch brush pens and started coloring using the many colors in the Color Dare's inspiration photo and it wasn't long before my personalized  was complete.  I cut a border layer in Flamingo cardstock, adhered to the back of my personalized pattern and then adhered to the card base. Used the extra stamps on the inside right-hand corner and card was done (photo below).
