Happy Bday

 Another summer birthday had me pulling out this fun set again! This time, the birthday party was an actual pool party so this set seemed appropriate.

I created a wash for the pool out of Salvaged Patina distress oxide ink on some distress watercolour cardstock. I cut that panel out with the second Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables die and then the patterned paper background from the first die.

I coloured up three of the critters with my Tombow markers and then three matching tubes. I had fun choosing some of the accessories to use like the sunglasses and the snorkel!

Instead of adding a sentiment, I chose to use some of the speech bubbles from the set!
