Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

 Debbie Owens's surfer Newton's Perfect Wave stamp set is sporting a polka-dotted  bikini as she heads off into the waves die cut using the Sea Borders die set.

 Becky Noelle creates a beautiful blue and pink tropical card using the Tropical Leaves stencil set. She adds some white splatters for texture. She then uses the Paradise Palms stamp set and embosses in white. She continues by die cutting vellum using the Circle Frames die set.  She heat embosses the sentiment from the Aloha Newton stamp set in white.  She adds pink stitching for her final touch!

Enjoy eating ice cream on a hot summer's day?  Then you're going to love Crystal Komara's sweet card!  She begins her card with a Kraft card stock die cut using the scallop-edged die from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set.
