Birthday Card ~ Under the Sea {1st Post}

I like to sketch out ideas when they pop into my head 
so I don't forget the idea when it comes time to create them.
Sometimes the idea stays close to the one 
I imagined sometimes my creative mojo just takes over.
I originally planed this one as a shaker card.
Once I started creating and added the waves the window just 
called for me to create an aquarium type card.




Some of you may recognize my rainy day picture taking place.
Sadly all the details like the stitched edges do not show up well.
I'll try again later some clearer pictures. Sun willing.

*Card base 4.25 x 5.5 in.
*Surf board, beach ball, clam shell and sea star cut using the Surf's Up stamp and die set from My Creative Time.
*Sea horse from the Surf's Up stamp and die set from My Creative Time.
*Sentiment from the It's All About You stamp set from My Creative Time.
*Scene window cut using the Bunch of Fun Circle Dies set from My Creative Time.
*Seaweed cut by hand.
*Danube Blue stamp pad from Memento

May your day always be filled with love.
