I masked off a panel and ink blended some <b><a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/products/premium-dye-ink-pad-poppin-pink?_pos=4&_sid=e72407fe7&_ss=r">Poppin' Pink</a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/products/summer-splash-premium-dye-ink-pad?_pos=3&_sid=167375d61&_ss=r">Summer Splash</a></b>, and <b><a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/products/premium-dye-ink-pad-caribbean-sea?_pos=3&_sid=121d54d0a&_ss=r">Caribbean Sea</a></b> inks, and used the <b>Summer Waves Stencil</b> to create a sweet summer lake.

I created a polaroid frame by trimming a rectangle to size, and used the <b><a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/products/stitched-square-stax-die-namics?_pos=11&_sid=13a2bf5ba&_ss=r">Stitched Square STAX Die-Namics</a></b> to create the aperture. I placed the ink blended panel into my MISTI, temporarily positioned the polaroid frame on the panel so that I could place the sentiment from the <b>I Love You More Stamp Set</b> so that it overlapped with the frame and the panel. I stamped the sentiment using <b><a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/products/extreme-black-hybrid-ink-pad?_pos=6&_sid=a2efb7beb&_ss=r">Black Licorice Hybrid Ink</a></b>, removed the Polaroid frame, and then stamped the sentiment again onto the ink blended panel. I adhered the Polaroid frame onto the ink blended panel using some foam squares, and made sure that the words were aligned properly. I ink blended some <b><a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/products/premium-dye-ink-pad-lemon-drop?_pos=4&_sid=94173cb3d&_ss=r">Lemon Drop</a></b> and <b><a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/products/premium-dye-ink-pad-candied-yam?_pos=4&_sid=fb2b91bd1&_ss=r">Candied Yam</a></b> onto a white panel and die cut the sun using the <b>Hello Sunshine Die-Namics</b>.
