Seize the Birthday #6 Masculine
Hi there
I finally have a card to show you today using the Seize the Birthday #6 sketch for a masculine card. I thought I would ink up the new 'By the Tide' stamp set for the first time. Here is the sketch:

I have created the sand and water background using various sponging options before stamping elements of the 'By the Tide' stamp set and finally white embossing the coral. The centre circle is intended to magnify part of the scene (hopefully that is obvious). This one got the nod from my husband who has snaffled it for a friend's birthday.

Hey Judy, hope you are well..xxx What a great card, the jury is out on this set for me, but wow…you have used it brilliantly. Loving your spotlight circle panel, very effective! xxx
That’s a stunning card Judy, no wonder the husband has it earmarked for someone already. The spotlighting was a great idea – brilliant.
