This month our Creatively Simple challenge theme is Designer Paper as the focus on our cards!

OCEAN FRIENDS
I know I’ve said this before, but I love the colors in this Friends of the Ocean DSP! So vibrant! This week’s design features three of the patterns in that package!

- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Lemon Lime Twist cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Summer Sky cardstock is added on top.
- Three patterns from the Friends of the Ocean DSP were cut 1 x 4-3/4 and added to the front.
- A 1 x 4-1/4 strip of Basic White cardstock was stamped with the Ocean Friends greeting in Summer Sky Ink towards the right side.
- The two seaweeds were cut with the dies from Summer Sky cardstock and added along the top of the Basic White strip.
- The Ocean Friends crab was stamped with the outline in Summer Sky Ink and the solid inside with Lemon Lime Twist Ink. It was cut with the die and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of Transparent Adhesive Backed Dots were added to the background.
