In a Nutshell Birthday Card

I recently purchased a new 3D embossing folder from Altenew that has waves on part of it, and I thought that would go well with my House Mouse stamp that features a fun little ride in shell. I stamped and fussy cut my House Mouse stamp and then colored him in with colored pencils. I fussy cut the waves out of the blue card stock after running the card stock through my eBosser with the Altenew embossing folder. Then I blended some yellow ink onto a white panel and stamped "In a Nutshell...Enjoy your Day" with black ink and adhered it to my card base. I added the colored image using foam tape for dimension. This will be my mom's birthday card, and I'm hoping it will make her think of our summer trips to Edisto Island. The waves look like the ocean at high tide.
