Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration is print of seagulls! This painting would go SO well in my Florida house!

FRIENDLY SEAGULLS
Of course, I just HAD to use the new FREE Friendly Seagulls Sale-A-Bration stamp set. This stamp set is SO fun to work with! I had a blast designing our upcoming Create with Stamping Friends Collection! I was happy I also could use it on today’s card…which I love, too!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Lost Lagoon cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White was sponged with some clouds in the upper left corner in Pool Party Ink and some birds stamped in Memento Black Ink.
- A 3-1/4 x 4 piece of Timeless Plaid 6×6 DSP was cut on a diagonal and then added to the bottom of the Basic White. Then it was added to the front of the base card.
- Three 1/2 x 2-1/4 Crumb Cake pier posts were brushed with Crumb Cake Ink and embossed with the Birchwood Embossing Folder, then were added at staggering heights and trimmed at the bottom.
- Some Linen Thread was wrapped around two of them and then adhered to the front of the card.
- The three seagulls were stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Lost Lagoon and Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends, then hand-cut and added to the pier posts with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A 1/2 x 2 piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock was stamped with the Friendly Seagulls greeting in Memento Black Ink and the end trimmed at an angle. It was added on the top right side.

Isn’t that fun? I love how it looks like the inspiration challenge! Debbie’s card is super fun, too! Check it out over on Create with Stamping Friends!
