Splish Splash for Seize the Birthday

 


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Shirley has chosen splish splash as the theme for this round.

Or play along with our anything goes birthday option.

Our party guests and my team mates have loads of inspiration for you so I hope you can join in.

I've had this cover die for many years and thought I'd use dolphins with it again.
I coloured the panels with distress oxide inks from dark to light blue and splashed on some water. The dolphins are die cut from silver shimmer card and are layered up, along with the sentiment for dimension.

I'm linking up to these challenges:


Try it on Tuesday, animals real or imaginary

Aud Sentiments, playing along with the ink blending option and a sentiment


Supplies:
Distress oxide inks-tumbled glass, broken china and chipped sapphire; Memory Box splashing puddles & diving dolphins dies; Creative Expressions happy birthday die; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die.

Thanks for visiting and have a great week,
Cathy x

Adding the dolphins to this cover plate was a great idea. It actually looks like it all should go together. The icing on this cake is the ombre color of the background.

I have this same die and always enjoy seeing what others do with it. I really like how you created the inked background and then added the die cut on top. Your dolphins look like they are having fun.
