After a stressful week dealing with family stuff it was nice to do something crafty this afternoon. My head is all over the place and this certainly influenced my card!
Firstly I was inspired by the unusual challenge at Less Is More
So I really sat and (over) thought about this one. I remembered I had a crab die and some glittery crab patterned paper. Being mindful to leave plenty of white space I created this...
Obviously the blue patterned card with glittery crabs represents the sea and the yellow circle represents the sand! After googling 'crab cards' I could see that 'snappy birthday' is the go to greeting for crabs so I used that for my greeting.
And of course coming up to June Birthdays this may be useful for someone whose star sign is Cancer (the crab). Yes - I thought a lot about this one!
What I used:
Linen card base
Crab patterned card - Deco Time
Crab die - Cut and Make
Greeting - created using KG Payphone font
Embellished with 2 googly eyes.
I'm also playing along with the challenges at:
Creative Friday #280 - clean and simple
2 Crafty Critter Crazies - AG with a critter
Pearly Sparkles #62 - clean and simple
Thanks for visiting
