Birthday Fishes


Our subdivision had a Graduation Parade on Saturday.  John and I sat in our lawn chairs on the driveway as we watched a parade of more than 200 cars decorated and with graduates and their families go past us.  It was a very enjoyable way to start a Saturday morning.



Since playing with slimline cards and envelopes, I decided to make some small slimline cards.  Years back I purchased card sets from Stampin' Up that included envelopes with card bases measuring 3.25" x 6.50".  So I pulled those out together with a couple of stamp sets to make today's cards.  The Hawaiian Shores card was first.  After stamping the image along the bottom of white cardstock, I stamped the image again, fussy cut it, laid it over the image on the white layer and sponged the sandy bottom and blue water top.  That was a lot of work.  So for the Blueberry  Bushel card, I stamped then colored the sand and water using Copic markers.  No need for masking the image!

Supplies:
Sunny Studio Stamps:  Oceans of Joy and Tropical Scenes stamp sets
Papertrey Ink:  Hawaiian Shores pattern paper and cardstock
Stampin' Up:  Whisper White heavy cardstock; Blueberry Bushel cardstock

Have a great day!
