Cupcake Inspiration!

Here's a card I created for this week's Cupcake Inspiration Challenge. 

Here's the cupcake:

I used the sketch design from today's Sketch Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers. I started with two watercolor panels, stamped the wavy lines on one and the palm trees on the other. The trees were heat embossed with black EP and the wavy lines with clear EP. Next I sponged on some Distress Oxide inks for the ocean and sky. The banners were die cut using SB dies and some of the leftover watercolor paper. The Happy Birthday was stamped onto the white panel with Versfine Onyx. The happy seal and octopus were stamped with Memento Black ink, colored with copics, fussy cut and glued onto the card. The starfish was added with a pop dot.

Thanks for stopping by!
