Birthday Turtle

Hello friends~ I realize that that's a really lame title, but I just couldn't think of what to title this post.  I'm not very creative with words but I can be creative with paper from time to time.
I made this card for a masculine birthday and thought it would fit perfectly in the Seize The Birthday Challenge.


I used the Elizabeth Craft Designs Turtle and Seaweed to create this card.  I framed it using the largest rectangle frame from Impression Obsession.  I stamped the sentiments onto the frame and mounted it all onto a Kraft card base.

I'll also be entering this card into the following challenges:

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings~ Birgit

Birgit, what a lovely water scene with that great turtle.
You asked how I got the bleach look. You use distress ink and then a wet paper towel to soak up the color on a stencil. Does that make sense? Really easy.
