SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE with a NAUTICAL THEME!

 
Hello Friends!  Welcome to another Seize the Birthday Challenge!
Lindsey is our hostess this time and she is looking for a nautical theme on our birthday cards!
You are welcome to always make any kind of card as long as it is a birthday one!
Our Special Party Guest is Melanie of Cards by Melanie, please check out her inspirational card along with all the other designers!


I love the stamp set from Gina K called Ocean Minded, it has a wonderful stamp that looks like the waves coming into shore!  Even the sentiments look like they are drawn in the sand!  I also used a set called By the Sea also from Gina K to add the other nautical elements to the card!

I hope you will join us this time around for a Nautical theme birthday card!
I will look for you in the gallery!


Heart Hugs, friends!

This is one of my favorite cards of yours for sure! The sand and beach foam look fabulous! Love that the sentiment as it appears as it was written with a stick. Well done, Colleen!

What a wonderful card! The beach is just wow!! The waves and sand look so perfectly natural. And the ship in the distance is a perfect addition.
