Stampin' Up! Friends of the Ocean for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came!! We have a color challenge for you today and here is a thumbprint of what I created for our hop...

                                            

                                               

Let's take a closer look at the front and inside, shall we?

 

My card base is Berry Burst card stock and the Designer Series Paper is Friends of the Ocean (available in the Last Chance Products as of the creation of this card!). 

The sand dollar is from the Seaside Wishes Stamp Set and is cut and embossed with the Seaside Wishes Dies and Hybrid Folder. I sponged it with Basic Beige and wished I hadn't. 

The "love you" sentiment is from the Seaside Wishes Stamp Set. "Time to Celebrate" is from the Round We Go Stamp Set as is the "Happy Birthday" inside. They were stamped with Berry Burst and Pumpkin Pie.

For the star fish images inside, I used a stamp from Seaside Wishes. I stamped them in Calypso Coral, Summer Splash, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist and Melon Mambo. 

The fun fold design was inspired by Mary Anne Cowan. There are other videos on You Tube for the fold, but I saw hers first!

Measurements in inches:

Base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4; cut top left at fold to bottom right corner
