Hello there, crafty friends! 🦞 I am so excited to share this fun, vibrant card featuring the Ocean Friends bundle! The stunning lobster paired with the bright colors makes for such a cheerful design. The coral and flowers give the card a playful touch that’s perfect for sending a “hello, friend” greeting. Whether you’re sending this card to a beach lover or someone who appreciates fun ocean creatures, it’s sure to make them smile!
This card features the adorable lobster from the Ocean Friends bundle. I stamped it in Night of Navy ink, allowing the colors of the background to really pop. For the background, I used the warm and energetic geometric pattern from the Friends of the Ocean DSP, which complements the bold colors of the lobster and flowers.
The “hello, friend” sentiment was stamped on a piece of Pretty in Pink cardstock and adds a fresh contrast to the cool tones of the lobster and greenery. The vibrant pink flowers and the delicate green coral bring a sense of movement and depth to the design.
When you’re combining bold colors like orange and pink, be sure to balance them with more neutral tones like the cool blues in this card. This creates harmony between the design elements, allowing the colors to shine without overwhelming the eye.
The full supply list for this card can be found further down on this blog post. You can also see the video link and the class information below!
