This card was sent to one of my demo friends in our monthly swap. And it's a huge departure from what I usually do. I really wanted to challenge myself to use some of the great abstract stamps to create a picture.

Our theme was summer and right away I knew that I wanted to add a sun to my card! I punched out rays with my Banner Punch and a sentiment from I Think You're Great. For added interest, my rays were punched from three different color cardstock. From there, I thought an ice cream cone would pair nicely with the sun. A free-handed cone stamped with a pattern stamp and a top traced from a different stamp from I Think You're Great made the perfect ice cream cone. But the card still looked to plain. Add some "waves" using the Work of Art set and suddenly my card was complete!
