Use a soft suede card base 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"

Cut a 5" x 3 3/4" crumb cake and use to stamp a background . I used the seaweed, fish, the seahorses and the water splats from the French Foliage set.

On the natural white paper I stamped 2 fish and the shell. Fussy cut them out. I then glued one fish flat and popped up the second fish with pop dots.

Across the bottom I placed about 5 inches of crumb cake ribbon pleated placed a button in the center and on the left hand side popped up the shell.

Using the decorative label punch, stamp Happy Birthday then placed on card. For the inside I used the natural white paper and used the water splats up the right side with a shell at the bottom stamped in the soft suede.
