It's birthday month in my family with 4 birthdays over 2 weeks. And today is my daughter's special day. When I made this card, it wasn't intended for her - I was just having fun - but my husband thought it would be perfect for Aly, so...
I had the large fish sitting on my desk after playing with the fabulous Sea Life dies. When I put it against a piece of the retired Whale of a Time patterned paper, it came together, but wasn't yet a birthday card. Just a fish in the water.
But then I was looking at the Whale Done stamp set, and found the greeting "Hoping all your birthday fishes come true", and inspiration struck!
I had just gotten the Sale-a-Bration Counting Sheep set with the coordinating Sheep dies and there was my party hat! Perfect! So I cut a few more little fishies, stamped and cut the hats, and broke up the sentiment to get "Birthday Fishes". Ha ha! I loved it!
And inside:
It can be such fun to mix and match stamps and dies to find a way to use them in a different-than-expected way. Take a look through your stash and see what you can find!
