Saturday Blog Hop – Strip it Down

This week’s blog hop theme is “Strip it Down!”.  Last week we piled on the embellishments, this week we take it down to a one-layer card with only one type embellishment or ribbon!  Fun!

FRIENDS ARE LIKE SEASHELLS

 

Stampin’ Details:

• The base 4-1/4 x 11 of Thick Basic White, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• A “D” size acrylic block was inked up with Crumb Cake Ink, then spritzed with water and “stamped” on the front of the Basic White base.
• The sand speckles in Friends are Like Seashells were stamped with Crumb Cake Ink randomly.
• The large shell was stamped with Misty Moonlight Ink, the smaller shell with Balmy Blue Ink and the sea ferns with Just Jade Ink.
• The greeting from Friends are Like Seashells was stamped with Misty Moonlight Ink.
• A trio of Glitter Dots were added to the background for a little bling.

I must say it was fun to strip down the card to one layer, but it is much harder than it would seem!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Brenda Nelson’s fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
