When in Doubt... {summer vibes}

I was stumped as to a card design to do for my friend's birthday, so I went with my old faithful-- layering lots of patterned paper strips. I am having SO much fun creating cards with my Summer Vibes collection. Maybe because it's so bright and fun, I feel like I'm sending some sunshine through the mail. :) 

All of the products I used on this card are from my SV line-- sequins included! The sequins are actually one of my favorite products from this line. They're such pretty colors and so sparkly and shiny. 

I added some machine stitching to the card because I love the texture it adds to the design. I also put a little punched vellum circle under the sentiment label (the sentiment stamp is from an old Studio Calico set) to make more of a separation between the busy patterns and the label. I didn't want the label to get lost! 

I hope my friend loves this card as much as I loved creating it!
