High Tide Happy Birthday

Isn’t the High Tide Designer Series paper amazing?   I love the little starfish, anchors and most of all the whales.  The make for the perfect summer card and even better, a masculine card.  After playing around for a little bit, this is what I came up with.

Stampin’ Tips: 
Background:  You will want to stamp the Hardwood in Smoky Slate ink onto Smoky Slate card stock.  The tone on tone stamping creates a subtle background.
High Tide paper:  Make sure you cut the DSP in the correct direction so that the anchors and whales are horizontal instead of vertical.  The anchors are 1/2″ wide and whales are 2 1/2″.

Happy Stamping!!
