I'm not very good with masculine cards, but I do love everything to do with the ocean, so I thought these could be for either a man or woman :)  The papers are from Graphic 45 and I popped up the layers for dimension. I also cut popped up the middle stamp. I used Steel Blue from The Blues Bundle as the water.

I recently purchased the Karen Burniston Twisted Pop Up die and I absolutely love it!!  It's so fun to use!!

The lighthouse and nautical images are from Impression Obsession, and the palm tree is from Die-Versions. Happy Birthday is from Little B.

Happy Birthday To You For Wild Orchid Crafts

Hello, everyone and happy Monday!! I am praying for everyone effected by the hurricanes. It's my turn to post on the Wild Orchid Crafts blog and I'd love for you to stop by if you have time :) I have two birthday cards to share with you featuring hand-made flowers made with flower making foam.

For the foamiran flowers, I used white craft foam and cut them out with Diemond Dies Sugarplum Roses dies. I colored them with oil pastels and a baby wipe. The centers are Small Aqua Double Head Pearl Stamens. The papers are from Craft Consortium.

I also used Chelsea Roses, Lilies, Hip Rosebuds, Apple Blossoms, Sweetheart Blossoms, Mulberry Paper Leaves, Pearl Sprays and Self Adhesive Pearls.
