Time To Shell~ebrate

I'm using the last of the die cuts that my dear friend Marcia sent me.  Goodness, they were all so fun, but this crustacean is a hoot!
 
The Happy Lobster die from Waffle Flower was cut from white cardstock.  I colored him with a coral colored Copic marker and then rubbed on Candied Apple Distress Ink.
 
I added some seaweed from Elizabeth Craft Designs that was colored using DOX inks as well.  I placed this little fella on a piece of design paper from Stampin' Up, and gave the whole thing some white gel pen accents and a healthy dose of white ink splatter from Spellbinders.
 
I am so pleased at how cute this turned out.  He truly looks like a happy lobster would look!

I'll be adding this card to the following challenges:
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge ~ Anything Goes using Waffle Flower
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes 
A Cut Above ~ Anything Goes with the Option 
 
Thanks for stopping by!

    What a darling card! Birgit, it does remind me how much I loved those lobster rolls when we visited - my tummy was smiling for days!
    I love your waves - that was one great pack of dsps!

    This is adorable, Birgit! The crab is such a fun die cut. Seriously makes me think of Sebastian in the Little Mermaid. Thanks for sharing with the August Challenge at A Cut Above.

    How fun this is! I've loved every one of these crustacean cards you've created! So cute with the seaweed and the underwater paper. I know you had to smile while making, and someone is going to smile when receiving!
