More Summer fun at the Mixed Media Card challenge

Hi there. Just a reminder about the current challenge at Mixed Media Card Challenge. The theme is Summer. I must admit, Summer is not my favourite season - it seems to be getting hotter every year with records temperatures being broken. So what I like to do in Summer is stay cool!

To make the  background, I used a stencil and distress paints.  Then I added more waves with gelatos,  a gold crayon, glitter and glue.
The sentiments and seagulls are cut with Silhouette and then white embossed.
The 'summer' is a Winnie & Walter cut file.

You can link up your cards to the challenge here you have until 25th August.

ETA: I am entering this card in the Simon Wednesday Challenge,
 because the theme is Make it Sparkle.
