Hello Stampers!!!  I'm here to share a card I made for the Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.   The theme of the week is "Summer Fun."  To make my card I started with the truck.  I inked up the solid truck with pear pizzazz ink, and then I lightly sponged on some cajun craze ink at the bottom to give the truck a rusty look.  Then I stamped the outline of the truck on top of this.  To give it that beachy, summery feel I stamped the palm trees, surf board, and beach ball in the back and colored them with copic markers.  Then I fussy cut this out.  For the background I die cut a circled and ink blended a summery sky, and added some sandpaper at the bottom of the circle to ground the truck.  To finish up the focal image I stamped, die cut, and popped up the sentiment on the circle.  Now for the card front I decided to emboss it with the soft waves embossing folder, and adhere it to a pool party card base.  I adhered my focal image to the background to finish up the front of this card.  For the inside I die cut a palm tree and added a bit of sandpaper at the bottom, leaving room to add a note.  And that completes my card.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
