STAMPIN' UP! WHALE OF A TIME BIRTHDAY CARD FOR PP510

 This week's challenge at The Paper Players is to create a project using this sketch:

I'm making it a mission this month to create cards with some of Stampin' Up!'s Designer Series Papers that are on special.  One of my favourites is Whale of A Time; such beautiful colours and patterns.  When flicking through the papers, I was quite taken with the turtle that features on my card.  His shell is beautiful, and I rather like his facial expression!

Here's a closer view of the little guy, and the beautiful papers.  The only stamping on my card is the sentiment.  I have sponged the edges of most of the paper panels, using ink to co-ordinate with the paper colours.  Artistry Blooms sequins add a bit of sparkle and shine (I was thinking air bubbles ... does that work?).

Although at first I was a little intimidated by all the layers in the sketch, I had a lot of fun with it - thanks, Joanne!

The products I have used to make this card are listed below, and are available to purchase from my online store, if you live in Australia.  If you would like to shop with me, you can get to my store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.
