wavin' happy birthday!

wavin' happy birthday

Lawn fawn is teaming up with Perfect Paper Crafting to show off what you can do with the perfect tears tools.  I used the wavy rulers to create an ombré ocean for my party dolphin to jump out of:

For the dolphin, I stamped the hat first and masked it, before stamping the dolphin overtop.  I then cut around the entire dolphin/hat combo.  For a bit of extra party pizazz, I added a little bow-tie.

The ocean was made in a snap!  I grabbed a few different blues from my card-stocks stash, and went to work with the rulers (I used the largest wave).  They even provided a little water-pen so that I could break down the cardstock fibers with a little water before ripping.  Every rip scored me two wavy layers - how awesome is that?  Four tears later, I had a full ocean that I stitched together along the sides before adhering it to the card-base.

The sentiment is a bit of a mash-up: I grabbed the first part from "critters of the sea" and the second party from "so much to say."

Thanks for stopping by!  Starting Saturday, it will be lawn fawn inspiration week!  Kelly Marie posted a sneak peek of all of the new sets on the blog - check it out!  (You know what that means over here, right?  Get ready for another round of 2 and 3 posts a day for a few... eeep!)
