Stephanie's Birthday

This is a Z fold card for my niece who loves the beach and anything that sparkles. I love this big bold sentiment from Cheery Lynn, and thought it looked great in silver glitter paper. I added an IO palm tree and star fish also cut in silver glitter paper.  I used a wood grained pattern done with my scoreboard and distress ink and a happy birthday embossed silver metallic card stock for my background.


For the beach part,  I stamped a seascape from Our Daily Bread in different colors by using markers to color the stamp. The MISTY made this a lot easier because some of the colors needed to be restamped.  I added an IO chair to complete the beach scene.

I will enter this in Simon Say Monday Nautical/By the Sea

  3. I'm with your niece, I like anything beach-y or sparkly too. Especially sparkly. Your card is perfect, love how you colored that scene, well done. I sometimes have difficulty with that, but you have really mailed it. LOVE your wood background too, and those muted colors are wonderful. Your niece will love this as much as I do!!!
