Today I'm sharing my design team card for our new challenge over at As you See It where it's time for a colour challenge, chosen by me:

The challenge graphic might be bright flowers, but I decided to go with another summer card with a pool/beach vibe - perfect for another entry over at Time Out Challenges with summer and water as my chosen words. Take a look:

Here's the low-down on today's card:
I went with a tone-on-tone stencilled watery background (I am officially in love with the Water Decorative Mask!), then added an inflatable rubber ring and beach ball for some pool fun and some sunnies and a visor to keep the sun at bay whilst at play, all from the Splash & Relax bundle. I created another custom sentiment by using my Mini Alphabet Dies to accentuate the word ‘splash’:

Some sparkly enamel dots from my stash to give the illusion of sunlight bouncing off the water surface completes my card.
Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:
