Salty Kisses ... Starfish Wishes ... another Z-Fold Card

I am really enjoying making Z-fold cards; the front and inside open up to display a mini scene and I love the 3D/pop-up elements.

High on my list of favourite stamps are sets that contain shells and anything related to the beach and sea life, so the new Seaside Shore was a 'must have' for me. I also love beach decor so I made a small 'beach wreath' from a Swirly Scribbles die, added some fussy cut stamped shells and starfish which were brushed with some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter.

After spotting a wall hanging in a local gift shop which read, "Salty kisses, starfish wishes", I knew my new Labeler Alphabet Stamp was in need of some ink. The letters were inked with Dapper Denim and stamped off once on scratch paper before stamping on Shimmery White Card Stock.

The little piece of driftwood was punched from the Tree Builder Punch and like the wreath, has been stamped with the 'woodgrain look' stamp from Timeless Textures in Sahara Sand Ink.

I hope I have inspired you to get creative! This card was made for a life-long friend who celebrated her birthday a few days ago and shares the same love of the beach. Roll on summer ...
