It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge!  This week is a new sketch challenge!  We hope you play along!

OCEAN FRIENDS

I am really loving this Ocean Friends bundle and the DSP!  So colorful!  Here’s another card I did using the sketch and this set!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Summer Splash cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White is embossed with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder and added to the front.
• A 2 x 3-3/4 piece of Friends of the Ocean starfish print DSP was added to a 2-1/4 x 4 piece of Summer Splash cardstock and adhered to the front.
• A 1-1/2 x 5 strip of coordinating Friends of the Ocean stripe DSP was added diagonally across the front and trimmed.
• The Spotlight on Nature circle was cut from Granny Apple Green and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The coral was cut from Pumpkin Pie cardstock and then cut in half.  I used a portion and adhered on the right of the circle.
• The crab outline was stamped with Summer Splash Ink on Basic White cardstock and the insides stamped off with Summer Splash Ink for a lighter version.  It was cut with the Die and added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals around the coral.
• A trio of Sunny Day Iridescent Dots were added to the background, one in each color.
• Hello only was inked with Summer Splash ink and stamped on 1/2 x 2 piece of Basic White cardstock and the end trimmed at an angle.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
