Have a Fin-tastic Day!

I love these little dolphins! They were a freebie, along with the sentiment, from Birdie Brown - thank you!  To make this card, I tore four varying shades of blue cardstock and embossed them with a swirl pattern.  I printed the dolphins on grey and white cardstock, paper-pieced, and fussy-cut.  I used a die cut for the sentiment, layered with black die cut, and then finished with an anchor charm and three blue dew drops.  Here are the supplies I used:
  • Cardstock:  Recollections, Walmart
  • Die cut:  Spellbinders Wonky Squares
  • Embossing Folder:  Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl
  • Embellishments:  Anchor charm, dew drops, string (dollar store)
