The sentiment was created in Microsoft Word and then I adhered the Summer word, which I die-cut from yellow and black so I could layer it in an offset way. I made the background with Distress Oxides using the watercolour ink smooshing technique. To embellish, I added a number of yellow sequins. I think this is a happy, cheerful card!
I was inspired by sketch 464 at Tuesday Morning Sketches:
For this card, I decorated the inside using a scrap of my Distress Oxide background along with the same die-cut ice cream cone I used on the front:

How beautiful your oxide distress ink background is and my favorite summer, (and fall, winter and spring) treat...cool dies for the ice cream cones. Your cones and sun really pop against that blue background. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble, decorating the inside and pairing it up with Three Amigos Blast of the Past. Monday we have a new fun challenge...so please stop by again.

This is darling, KT! I love the sentiment on the inside, and how you further decorated the interior as well. Your textured background with the oxides is FABULOUS! Looks like real water in a busy swimming pool, doesn't it?
Sorry to hear how hot it is up there! Like you, the heat does not usually bother me, it's the humidity that plummets me into a puddle! Please take care of you, and your dearly beloved. Keeping you both in my prayers. xx
This is a wowser card . Love the idea and the colours. A perfect summers card. Hugs Mrs A.

What a fun summer card! Your colors and die cuts are so cheerful. Thank you for joining in the challenge fun at Double Trouble. (Could you share the name or manufacturer of the dies?)
Great job with the sketch! The dies are perfect for a fun summer card and I love how you added the summer in the sentiment.
Nothing says summer more then sunshine and yummy cold dripping cones of soft serve. Makes my mouth water for one right now as it is so hot and humid today. I feel a storm may be brewing later on.
A super summer card, lovely die cut details and great background.
