Hey there! This card was in my latest newsletter, but if you don't subscribe you didn't get to see it. A hostess liked a valentine card in my display, but I changed it for a birthday. I played around with the fishy stamp, Birthday Bash Specialty Designer Paper, and Irresistibly Yours Specialty paper to come up with this:

A Bermuda Bay card base, a strip of Birthday Bash Specialty, and a strip of Irresistibly Yours that I rolled on Crushed Curry ink with my brayer started my card. I added a "Polaroid" Basic Black frame cut with the On Film Framelits Dies. After stamping the fish with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I colored with Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, and Pool Party Stampin' Write Markers, added googly eyes,  and a bit of Dazzling Diamonds glitter. A Coastal Cabana button from the Sale-a-bration Best Year Every Accessory Pack, a bit of Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine, and a Calypso Coral arrow cut with a framelit also from the On Film Framelits Dies were the finishing touches.

To change this stamp from valentine to birthday, I selectively inked the stamp, leaving the "valentine" word un-inked. After stamping, I then added "happy birthday" from my faithful stand-by set, Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Inside was made complete with a sentiment from the Perfect Pennants set, and a 1/2" strip of Birthday Bash paper along the side. I always make sure I stamp a coordinating look on my envelope too.

As my final touch I stamped just the tiniest fish on the bottom corner, but I rocked my stamp a bit and stamped an extra "edge". You can't remove those edges, as there is no such thing as an "ink eraser", so I made the best of it by adding a bit of Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the edge using my 2-way glue pen. It looks like more of the water swirls on the front of the card!
