Seaside Notions Seahorse

I'm on a mission to get lots of birthday cards stamped and ready to go.  I'm planning on being on top of my birthday card mailing next year.  I don't know about you but I struggle with getting cards in the mail.  Normally I'm good about getting thank you cards out but birthday cards is my downfall.  My plan is to begin the new year with a stash of tons of cards ready to go!

This fun card was a great card to stock up on.  BUT it was a lot of fussy cutting!  Fussy cutting that seahorse was something else.  I think I made 10 or 12 of these, by the time I was done cutting the seahorse I was relieved.  But I think in the end it's worth it, maybe just not in bulk.  I used Stampin' Blends to color the sea weed or coral, whatever it is, which gives lots of great shading and dimension. Finish with some Wink of Stella and Rhinestones for sparkle!  What a fun bright card!

Thanks for looking see you soon!
