I used the Stampin’ Up! Sea Turtle stamp set to create a quick birthday card to share with you today.  I made this card out on my Instagram account this morning and you can find it  here.

My card design was inspired by Sketch Saturday #748.

I started by applying Post-It Note Tape along the edges of a Thick Basic White card base.  Then I inked the “smooth” side of the water image from the Sea Turtle photopolymer stamp set and stamped it repeatedly down the card front.  I cleaned the stamp, flipped it over and then stamped the bubble side in Pool Part ink at the bottom of the inked area.  I used a Blending Brush to apply more Pool Party ink to fill in the entire rectangle, then I lifted the Post-It Note Tape.

I stamped the detailed small turtle image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Garden Green ink three times across the card front.  I clean the stamp, flipped it over and then inked the smooth side of the stamp in Granny Apple Green ink and stamped it over the detailed turtle images.

I stamped the sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set in Garden Green ink on a panel of Basic White card stock.  I cut around the image with one of the Happy Little Things Dies (Online Exclusive item) and then adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.  I added two Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls to finish the card front.

I stamped the detailed turtle image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Garden Green ink on a panel of Basic White card stock, cleaned the image, flipped it over and then stamped the smooth image in Granny Apple Green ink to finish the inside of the card.

You can see a list of supplies used to create this project, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.
