My Besties June Summer Fun Tri-Fold Card

For the June My Besties Aussie DT Challenge, I chose the Summer Fun Bestie digi to 

create a Day at the Beach narrative.

I used a Hot-Off-The-Press Bendi Card as the base to build upon.  

Having multiple sides to play with allowed for a more 3D Composition with 

Foreground, Midground & Background flaps.

Exterior left view towards the right interior view.
