I was taken by this sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and had to play along.
I stamped a panel of Basic White with the watery stamp from Rolling Waves, sponged and stamped in some sand, then added some wave die cuts. Then I cut them into strips of various widths.
I embossed a Basic White card front with the retired Seabed embossing folder before adhering it to a Coastal Cabana card base.
When adhering the strips that made up the beach scene I alternated adding them flat and popped up on dimensionals for interest.
I added a sentiment, stamped in Basic Gray and cut with a label from Textured Notes. The 'Happy Birthday' is on the inside.
On a scrap of Basic White, I sponged some Peach Pie and Pumpkin Pie in an uneven manner, then splattered it lightly with some Pumpkin Pie ink. From this, I die-cut some seashells and starfish and added them to the waterline.
I finished with adding a few mother-of-pearl gems from the Pearlised Circles pack.If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, I'd love to be yours.

What a fabulous idea! I am getting more and more inspiration from all the things I've been seeing made with this bundle. Terrific way to use the sketch too--thanks for playing and giving ME more ideas, LOL!
