Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge - "Summer Celebrations"

Hello there friends! It's the first Sunday of the month, which means it's time for another Simply Sunday Challenge at Getting Cricky! Our theme this month is "Summer Celebrations", which can be interpreted in so many ways. Click HERE to join in on the fun & show us your interpretation!

I have chosen to go with the 4th of July theme. I hadn't made any patriotic cards yet this year, so I was eager to get going on some! I will have more projects to show you this week, but for the Challenge this is what I came up with....

CRICUT:  Imagine
SIZE:  5.25" square
CARTRIDGES:  "Florals Embellished" (image), "Hopscotch" (color palette), "Art Philosophy"
PAPER:  Colorbok white cardstock, Debbie Mumm paper pack (cloud paper)
INK:  Rubber Stampede, Studio G chalks
OTHER:  Stickles "Star Dust" & "Waterfall", Glossy Accents, Scrapbook Adhesives pop dots


For the sentiment I used this stamp set from K Andrew Designs....


Sweet July
