Dive Right In

  I have quite a few nephews and young men/boys in my life so I can never have enough masculine themed birthday cards in my stash. 

Most of them are outdoorsy and like to swim so "Diver Dan and Sea Floor Background" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps are perfect for an under water scene card!

I started by stamping the sea floor background followed by Diver Dan and coloured them with Copic markers. I cut them to the size I wanted and set them aside. Next I found some paper from Doodlebug that has a wavy, watery feel to it. I stamped and cut my Dive Right In sentiment to size and masked the Happy Birthday out of the Swinging Birthday sentiment stamp. 

After cutting a piece of card stock to size to go behind the coloured image, I used an mini anchor and star fish to create a border. Some enamel dots finish off my card.
