Birthday Fishes Card

I recently purchased Altenew's Mighty Waves 3D embossing folder and thought I would try it out on a birthday card for a friend. I used some watercolor paper I had sprayed with Lindy's Magicals Starburst Spray in Tibetan Poppy Teal to emboss the waves. Then I went over the raised parts of the design with a small blue ink pad to add some definition to the waves. I really like how they look! 

I trimmed the panel to 4 1/8 by 5 3/8 and popped it up on a blue A2 card base using foam tape. I then stamped the "Hoping all your birthday fishes come true" sentiment and the whale stamp from SU!'s retired "Whale Done" set using Simon Hurley's Clear Skies ink. I have the coordinating punch for the whale, so I punched him out and added him and the sentiment to the card using foam tape.
