Friends Are Like Seashells--#tgifc310

It's color challenge week over at TGIF Challenges.  The colors are Flirty Flamingo, Blushing Bride and Pool Party for a lovely subtle color combination.  

My first step for this challenge was to check out my designer series paper stash and see what I could find with these colors.  I pulled out a few pieces and decided on this pretty Blushing Bride and Flirty Flamingo sand dollar design from the Sand & Sea designer series paper collection (#154288).  I cut it in a 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" piece and arranged my other elements on it:

Sand dollars and small seashells were stamped in Flirty Flamingo and Pool Party using images from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set (#154368).  Blushing Bride was blended over each using Blending Brushes (#153611) and then they were die cut using the coordinating Seaside Seashells  (#156095/bundled with the stamp set, #156205 at 10% off).  Opal Rounds (#154289) were also added.

The Pool Party layer was embossed with the retiring Old World Paper 3D embossing folder (#153200).  This layer was layered over a piece of Flirty Flamingo, then tied with a Pool Party sheer ribbon (#152462) bow.  The card base is Basic White Thick card stock (#159229).

Have a wonderful day!
