Seize the Birthday #169 - Sunshine

Hello everyone! Hope July started off great for you all! 

Today is Seize the Birthday Thursday again. Our Toppings option for next fortnight, chosen by our lovely boss Nancy, is SUNSHINE. As always you may enter any birthday themed projects into our gallery, if you want!

I used two digital SVG cut files by The Ton for this card. 


I cut Crashing Wave Layering Coverplate cut file and Sunburst Coverplate cut file from some white cardstock using my Cricut.
I then ink blended the sky and the sun in Broken China, Salty Ocean and Mustard Seed on the white cardbase. I used the Sunburst Coverplate as a stencil and applied Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer paste on the cardbase to add the sparkly sunray.


I then inked the waves while masking the outer frame, so that it stays white. I used Blueprint Sketch and Peacock Feather for the base layer and Salty Ocean for the second layer of the wave. I adhered two layers together and applied the glimmer paste through the Sunburst stencil on the wave. 


After all the paste was completely dry, I adhered the wave coverplate on the cardbase. The sentiments come from Palm Tree and Mototorcycle Boss set by The Ton. I ink blended two strips in yellow-orange and blue green ombre and white heat embossed the sentiments on them. To finish off I drew three sea gulls.          


Hope you'll play along and share some birthday cards featuring sunshine with us!

Spectacular! Such an amount of textures and colors that have gone into this card. Love the wave, especially - really seems like there's a lot of it. The whole scene reminds me of a wonderful summer day at the beach - and lots of sunshine! Love it!
