Showcasing a shimmery seahorse birthday card

Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog! This posting focuses on a non-DT commitment creation (a rarity) using old and new stash in a birthday mash-merge! 

WHAT: A shimmery seahorse birthday card

WHEN: July 10, 2023

SHOW and TELL:

1. white cardstock base 5"x7" is recycled t-shirt packaging insert

2. happy birthday graphics has been trimmed from a boxed card (old stash; have 2 more different design cards left)

3. wood seahorse laser die-cut (Dollar Tree pack); Lawn Fawn turquoise ink pad applied to the center area and Memento's pear ink pad to the outer edges; glitter paint pens that match closely were applied for top layer

4. the circle grid patterned paper = very old stash

5. the lime green/pear green paper is a newer purchase (Art Skills?; Dollar General)

6. more of the Memento pear ink applied to all the paper/cardstock edges
