Lobster Wishes from Maine

Hello friends.  Did you know that 
Maine is
globally recognized as a premier lobster destination, producing over 90% of the United States lobster supply?  Personally, I love the taste of lobster and I always enjoyed having my birthday in July.  My family would often have a lobster cook out to celebrate my birthday.  So this card, which I made can be either masculine or feminine, but it leans more masculine to me.  
 
Sizzix is the maker of this wonderful lobster die.  
 
The details on this lobster die are amazing.  I paired this crustacean cutie  with Elizabeth Craft Designs Seashell and coral dies.  The sentiment is also from ECD.
 

 I'll be adding this card to the following challenges:
Sunday Stamps ~ Oval Things
 Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Your card is so wonderfully cohesive Birgit - it’s not everyone who could make a lobster shine as you have! I enjoyed reading a bit about it all, Nancy J, inkblocks :o)

  9. That lobster is absolutely fabulous! I love every detail of your card, including the wood plank background. It all goes so perfectly together. I knew a lot of lobster comes from Maine, but I did not know it was 90%! I don't get much fresh lobster here, but I sure do enjoy the crab and razor clams -- yum!

  10. OH WOW ... what a fabulous creation Birgit! Love the ocean colors & elements! Lobster isn't one of my favorites ... probably a good thing with the cost of lobster & crab these days lol. But I do LOVE this card and glad to see you still crafting as time permits! Miss You!
