Today’s card made me think of the lyrics: “Summertime, And the living is easy, Fish are jumping, And cotton is high.”

I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. There is a Basic White,  Seaside Seashell die cut, that covers the front of the card. Prior to gluing it in place, I embossed it with the Seashells Embossing Folder. This is so cool, you may have to see it to believe it! Check it out in my Product List.

Birthday Fish

The next step was cutting two circles, using the largest, Layering Circles Dies. The scalloped circle was cut from Night Of Navy Cardstock, and the plain circle was cut from Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used a Blending Brush and Misty Moonlight Ink to turn the white circle into an ocean, glued them together, and attached with Dimensionals.

My fish is from the Seascape Stamp Set, stamped in Bumblebee Ink, fussy cut, and attached with Dimensionals. How do you like his eye? It’s an Artistry Blooms Self-Adhesive Sequin. He asked for something good to eat, so I gave him some Just Jade coral, cut with a Sea Life Die.

This sentiment, from the Whale Done Stamp Set, is so cute, I had to use it. I stamped, “Hoping all your birthday fishes come true,” in Night Of Navy Ink, and used a Stitched So Sweetly Die for cutting.

I was inspired by the Paper Players.
