It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. Another great sketch this week to inspire you!

SEASIDE BAY
The Mini Catalog is quickly coming to an end, and I wanted to use the Seaside Bay stamp set again! I love this crab! So happy this set is carrying over to the new catalog…but the awesome coordinating DSP is not…make sure to grab it before it goes away!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Night of Navy cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Mint Macaron was embossed with the Online Exclusive Basics 3D Embossing Folder and added to the front.
- A 1 x 5-1/4 strip of navy By the Bay Designer Paper was added across the top.
- The 2-3/4 x 3-1/2 piece of fish print By the Bay Designer Paper was added on top.
- A 5/8 x 4-3/4 strip of Soft Suede cardstock was stamped with the Seaside Bay greeting in Night of Navy Ink, then adhered.
- The crab from Seaside Bay stamp set was stamped with Night of Navy Ink on scrap Basic White cardstock, cut with the Seaside Bay Dies, then colored with the Dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of gold Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins were added to the front for a little bling.

I love how the fish look like they are swimming along with the crab! Go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary.
