Nautical Birthday for David

 Hi all!  Well I'm a bit more pleased with my card today than some of my recent efforts!  I love it when a sketch sparks some creativity! 


I think the bear, stripes and little hearts are stamps from Creative Depot.  I added splatters from my metallic paints and then a red twine bow just to lift it a bit.


Sketch Saturday - free choice of sketch. I used this oldie from 2018
AAA Birthday #45 - anything Birthday 
Sweet Stampers #75 - anything goes

So cute! Love this whimsical image, and all of your little touches finish it off so nicely! Well done, as always! Sorry I’ve been MIA. It was a sad New Year for us, as our Sophie had to cross the Rainbow Bridge on New Years morning. She was our baby, and the house is so quiet. Thanks for sharing and giving me some smiles!

I'm not sure I'd want that bear at the helm of my ship, but he sure is cute on a card. I love the embellishments you add like the sequins, hearts and bow. Oh yes, and the splatters, too!
