Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Mary and I will pick a theme. This month the theme is Animals! We will design our cards using this theme!

SEASIDE BAY

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of By the Bay DSP was added on top.
- A 1 x 4 strip of Crumb Cake was added across the front.
- The scenic pattern of By the Bay DSP was cut with the Stitched Rectangle, then stamped with the seashells along the bottom and greeting across the top in Soft Suede Ink. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The bird was stamped with Soft Suede Ink and colored with Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends, then cut with the dies. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some Faux Sea Glass Shapes were added to the sand.

I think it makes a great sympathy card! Make sure to check out Mary’s Creatively Simple card over on Create with Connie and Mary!
