WHALE OF A BIRTHDAY CARD

This is a birthday card that I made for our Sunday School teacher. I used my new Gypsy and both the "Happy Birthday" and the cute little "Whale" came from Gypsy Wanderings. I cut out some blue patterned paper with a wave on it and embossed it with one of my cuttlebug folders. Then I cut around the top of the embossed curves to make it look like waves.....I am very pleased with how the ocean turned out. If you can't read the insdie of the card it says "Have a Whale of a Birthday!"

It took me a while to decide what I wanted to do, but once I put the designs on my Gypsy, I cut it out, and it went together very very quickly compared to what I have been doing.

I'm still struggling with color and pattern. I'm a little disappointed that you can't read the Happy Birthday very well, but overall, I'm more pleased with this card than any other card I've made. Partly because I came up with the complete design myself and partly because that little whale is so darn cute.
