Starfish Wishes ~ Double D

Good morning friends ~  It's time for a new challenge over at Double D Challenges and the theme is "For the Kiddos". 
 
I'm not sure why I dragged my feet so, while deciding what I wanted to make for a card.  Perhaps because the inspiration tile was all Disney characters and I don't own anything Disney related.
 
I went out on a limb and cut these starfish shapes out of white cardstock, which I then colored using DOX inks, adding the spots with a copic marker.  The faces are stamped with my favorite faces from Peachy Keen Stamps.  Seriously folks, these faces can be used on just about everything and they're so cute!
 
These happy little starfish are all sunning themselves on a stenciled beach.  
 
 Here's an inspiration tile to help you on your way:
 
Don't let the Disney characters throw you off course.  The cards can be anything for kids, so have fun with this challenge.  You'll find more amazing inspiration at Double D Challenges.
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Adorable Birgit! I love your take on this challenge that I struggled with too. Those happy little starfish are perfect for a kiddo card. Love those face stamps....they are so cute! I may have to add these to my stash. The beautiful sunrise makes a great background.

I had no Disney characters either so I am out the that limb with you. But I feel that since it is a challenge, why not take a different limb. Lol I really like this card, you did a great job on the background and the cute stars. Loving the sentiment too.

Birgit, this card is the cutest! Disney not required when you can make something so adorable as this. Love the starfish the way you colored them all different and added the dots and faces. The perfect beach scene and sentiment. I'm smiling right along with those happy little starfish!
