Happy Memorial Day Everyone ~ the beach has some great ideas for a Seashore Birthday card!
Well I did not get into my flower bed yesterday because of the rain. It is supposed to rain all day today also. I am hoping by the evening it will slack of so I can get out and pull some weeds! If not I will try on Tuesday.
I am again using some of the Going Places ds paper stack so my customers have some ideas to use the paper they got from the Bags & Tags class. My share today began with the sketch challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches
I thought it would be fun to use the By the Seashore set again. I checked out my paper and looked for one that I thought would work. There is one that has a lot of peaks on it and it reminded me of sand dunes. I chose to use that paper. I mounted it on my Early Espresso card base. I then inked the starfish with Crumb Cake and used a sponge dauber to ink the edges using Calypso Coral. I stamped it onto my Very Vanilla and cut it out. I added this to the card front using a dimensional. Next I needed to address the other circle elements. There is a paper in the pack that kinds looks like sirling water. I used my punches to cut out my circle and attached them to my card. Now I needed my sentiment so I stamped the Happy Birthday with Memento and used the banner punch to flag the ends. When I was working on this post I realized 2 things. One I only have 4 of the 5 circle elements and two my circles are opposite the ones in the sketch. Oh well the idea is there! Here is my final creation.

Thanks for visiting me today. I will be working on a few things in my craft room. I have to start working on my pocket letter so I have it ready to mail out next week. Have a Marvelous Memorial Day Monday and I would love to see what you could come up with for a Seashore Birthday card!

Cool mix of patterns! Thanks for playing along with us at CC&S!
The DP you chose looks very effective as a background for your starfish image. A great take on the sketch, thanks for sharing at CC&S

That's a fabulous choice of DSP for your background – I love it! And the starfish is so cute. Thanks for joining us at CC&S this week. Caro x
I love that DSP stack so it's good to see it used in new ways. I hadn't previously thought of it as sand dunes, thanks for that. Thanks also for joining us at CAS Colours & Sketches this week. Liz x
