Greens and blues just like the ocean…I saw a card Mary Brown made that used pinks and blues to create a camo like background using the Stampin’ UP! Friends are Like Seashells, and it inspired me! I used Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, and Soft Seafoam for the splotches and Pretty Peacock for the stamped shell images. I love the pretty Opals Rounds!
The fun thing about this card is the outside and inside complement each other. I stamped a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White with the splotches and shells then cut it into two pieces measuring 1-1/2″ x 4″ and 2-1/2″ x 4″. I put the 2-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ on the upper part of the outside and the 1-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ on the lower part of the inside. I also cut a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Soft Seafoam cardstock to the same measurements and paired them with the stamped pieces.
Thanks for buzzing by, friends…

I absolutely love this design and had to try it out. Worked beautifully except that I had to adjust the measurements given. The cut pieces were too short and a little too wide. In order to achieve your composition, I cut them 1 3/8 x 5 1/4 and 2 3/8 x 5 1/4. They turned out very well with those dimensions. Thanks for sharing your design.
Cheryl, thank you for letting me know- it should have been 1-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ and 2-1/2″ x 5-1/4″. I put the dividing strip on top of the pieces so I did not have to trim down to 3/8″. I appreciate you noticing my mistake:)
