happy birthday gullfriend! - Always Happy Birthday #8

Wednesday August 1-31, 2018
 
Welcome to another challenge for August at 
Our theme for this month is
BIRTHDAY ANYTHING GOES / OPT: WATER
 
 
So this card really made me smile.. I stared by using my cloud template to create the sky. I had a piece of water color paper I created last year.. (Kuretake paint and plastic wrap scrunched and set aside to dry) I used My favorite things wave die and cut a little piece off and added it straight to the card base. I then used an embossing pen and added white embossing powder for the white caps and heat embossed the sentiment in white (the hb is from Tech. Tues. the gullfriend is MFT) I added foam behind and added this to the card. I stamped some Simon says sea gulls to the sky. I used My favorite things sea gulls and colored with copics and die cut them out.  I love the sentiment.
