Starfish Birthday Card (Stampin' Up By The Seashore)

I really like the way this simple birthday card turned out.  

The Starfish image is stamped using a stamp from the Stampin' Up "By The Seashore" set.  The sentiment is from a Papertrey Ink set called "Stylish Sentiments", which I cut into a banner/tag shape and layered onto blue cardstock.

By The Tide/Seashore Tag

Playing with some pre stamped images using Stampin' Up "By The Tide" and By The Seashore" stamps, I made this tag.

Starfish Under The Sea Tag

I started this tag by scrunching up a piece of old cardstock and then roughly flattening it.  I then inked the raised areas using Stazon Ink in "Cactus Green".  I cut it to a tag shape.  

I then used a die for the central lines from the Stampin' Up "Swirly Scribbles" set.  The other green foliage was cut using a Sizzix die from the "Back To Nature" set.

I then stamped the starfish using a Stampin' Up stamp from the "By The Seashore" set.  I used a Pumpking Stazon ink and then darkened the edges with other shades.

It was then a matter of assembling the pieces.  I used a silver ink on some of the edges and used little metal embellishments and small gem type bling to give a watery/bubble effect.
