Whale of a Time Birthday Fishes for AtlanticHearts 381

Happy Saturday!

I got a little time in my craft cave today and played along with the fabulous new sketch at AtlanticHearts they really do have great sketches!  I hope you will pop along and check out the wonderful design team and submission cards - and play along!

I had this idea in my head to use some of my favorite SU DSP - Whale of a Time.  I also inked up the fish stamp from the Whale Done stamp set with Night of Navy ink and stamped it multiple times to make it look like a shoal of navy blue fish.  I cut the piece of card stock in 3 and then put the front piece onto a piece of Night of Navy and popped it up from the side pieces.  I added the sentiment and a fussy cut turtle and the card was complete.

Here's my take on the sketch:

Here's a closeup of the fabulous turtle:

I'll be back later with my Paper Players card.  In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
