Good Thursday morning stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you. I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Color Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Wishes Bundle along with the Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper (both of these items are on the last chance list) and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

These are our colors for this week.

Adhere a panel of Friends of the Ocean DSP to a Melon Mambo card base using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere 2 more panels of Friends of the Ocean DSP to Summer Splash mats using Stampin’ Seal. Using the Seaside Wishes Hybrid Embossing Folder, emboss a panel of Basic Beige.

Adhere the 2 layered panels of Friends of the Ocean DSP to the card front using Liquid Glue. Adhere the embossed panel to the card front using Liquid Glue.

Cut a panel of Basic White using the 2nd largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Stamp the large starfish image from the Stampin’ Up! Seaside Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set in Melon Mambo Ink, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper, on the die cut circle. Stamp the sentiment from the Seaside Wishes stamp set in Summer Splash Ink over the starfish image. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Seaside Wishes stamp set in Summer Splash Ink. Stamp the large starfish image from Seaside Wishes stamp set in Melon Mambo Ink, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper, over the sentiment. Stamp the sand image from Seaside Wishes stamp set in Basic Beige Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the small starfish image from Seaside Wishes stamp set in Summer Splash Ink on top of the sand image. Adhere 2 strips of Friends of the Ocean DSP to the sides of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Summer Splash mat then to the inside of the Melon Mambo card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete the card. Stamp the sand image from Seaside Wishes stamp set in Basic Beige Ink along the bottom front of the envelope. Stamp the large starfish image in Melon Mambo Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper on top of the sand. Stamp the small starfish image in Summer Splash Ink. Adhere a panel of Friends of the Ocean DSP to the envelope flap.
