Waves of Inspiration and Tahitian Tide

We are in the “dog days” of summer here in the Northeast. It’s hazy, hot and humid! What better way to cool off then with a wave in some cool blue water. I created this card for the #creativechallengesu.

This is the sketch that Stampin’ Up! posted for the challenge. I chose to stick to the sketch pretty closely but, all sketches are subject to interpretation. So go with what inspires you!
