Birthday and shells

You will be seeing a lot of these shells, I love them! I am working on something right now with them and the hints is... Tim Holtz. Some of you may know who he is and for those that don't he is one of the designers for Ranger Stamping Supplies. He has a unique style that so many people love and gives classes throughout the country and has a wonderful blog of his techniques that he creates. You might remember when I was doing the 12 tags of Christmas. Here is his blog http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/ Anyway back to this one. I was just messing around with these shells as a background paper and needed a birthday card so this is what I put together. I like the little shell on the scallop circle, and to make the Happy Birthday be more noticeable on the card I put the little swirly stamp under it. Simple but I love the shells and this style of card lets them be seen and not buried underneath.
