Another post today. Boy, I'm on a roll. I have been making cards like crazy. Unfortunately, I have been neglecting other things. Like housework - Yuk. Well, I have set aside tomorrow to do lots of housey stuff. This week is the Thursday Challenge at Impression Obsession. The theme is "Simple Stamping - Less Embellishments". I used an IO stamp called Silhouette 18. I used sketch #51 from the Get Sketchy blog for the layout.
I was inspired by the photo and color scheme from the Embellish Magazine challenge. The theme is also clean and simple.
This is a very nice color combo - Sea Foam, Kraft, Peach, and Cream. Very relaxing and soothing. Here is my interpretation of the challenges.
I stamped the image with Versa Mark and embossed with clear embossing powder from Stampendous on Awesome Aqua CS from WorldWin and layered with Kraft CS. The cream CS is dry embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. The card is made of Aqua Stadium from Making Memories and then layered with Awesome Aqua. I added a few pearl accents from Kaisercraft. The Sentiment is Three Little Words from Stampin' Up and stamped in Cameo Coral.
Here is the detail photo. The cream CS looks truer to it real color in the detail photo. It is a little yellow in the full shot. 
Well, I guess I had better quit for today. This day really flew by. Have a great day!
