Waterfront Beach Birthday

Just a quick card to show you today using Stampin’ Up’s Waterfront Stamp set.   I laid all of the background color with the stamps onto a 4 x 5 /4” Watercolor paper panel. After all of the color was stamped I blended it with an Aquapainter. Palm Trees were then stamped after the background was dry.  I used the largest Layering Square die to cut out a portion of the finished panel. The square was mounted on a 3 x 3 Early Espresso panel and “popped up” back in it’s place. 

This card is being entered in the Seize the Birthday challenge blog where the theme is “beachy birthday”
