introduces a new monthly challenge
for June/July. Here is your inspiration.
______________________________________________________________________


As you can see (or not see) is our little girl. I just wanted the serene ocean so I edited her out using photo editing software. I tried to achieve a seamless scene by merging the two sides together.
Three shells anchoring (no pun intended) our vellum banner with sentiments from
two of MHKDesigns stamp sets! (See below) 
Detail of the shells colored with alcohol markers then fussy cut and layered.
The shells come from the Serene Seaside stamp set.
Thank you so much for joining in our hop to say "Happy Birthday" to a dear friend! Your next stop on the hop is Andrea's blog

All the best,
Supplies Used:

Eat Your Cake Digital Stamp Set
