Card Swap Group, July

The challenge I set for July was to use black, white and either pool party or bermuda bay.  I was amazed at how quickly everybody has made their cards this time around, and they're all fab.  Anyway, here's mine: I used up my last piece of pool party cardstock for the base so I couldn't afford for anything to go wrong!  (No pressure!)
