Mambo Lobster - Stampin' Up! Ocean Friends

   Central Virginia got some more snow last night and until noon today a good portion of the Richmond Metro area was under a boil water advisory so needless to say a lot has been going on in my area!  I was supposed to have my new Mini Catalog & Sale-a-Bration open house this afternoon but after watching the weather and there being some wide variations on the snow totals and whatnot I decided to play it safe and cancel the event.  I did a Facebook Live event instead and at least got to show off some of the new products and put together a few projects.  I hope my customers enjoyed seeing it all from the warm comfort of their own homes!  I'l be sharing those projects in the next few days but today I've got another card I made using the Ocean Friends bundle.

  I used the Global Design Project layout.  Ever since this challenge went to Instagram only and stopped posting the challenge to their blog I seem to miss it more weeks than not but I saw the new graphic and saved it so I could try to get to it.

  I wanted to stick to fun, bright colors for this card so I chose to use Summer Splash, Melon Mambo and Lemon Lime Twist for the main elements.

  

  The card base is Summer Splash, then a layer of Basic White and another piece of Summer Splash agian that is embossed with the new Soft Waves embossing folder.

  I added a die cut coral piece in Lemon Lime Twist then the Melon Mambo lobster on the other side to follow the given sketch. 

  The sentiment is from the Simply Said stamp set and is stamped in Pretty Peacock onto Pool Party cardstock.  I trimmed the sentiments in to two parts again to follow the sketch.

  Finally I added a few Sunny Day Iridescent Dots in Melon Mambo for a bit of shine and sparkle.  

  I'm so glad I finally got to play along with the GDP challenge this week.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?

All of the supplies used to make this card can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE.
