Hello my dear friends! We sure missed hanging out with you all! I'm well rested, and ready to start playing cards again, even though I've got lots of cobwebs to clear!
Before I show you my card for IB#181, I want to tell you that there is something a little different about Inspired By starting with this first August post! SO be sure to read all about it at the Inspired By blog for all the extra fun you can have playing along with us!
I have a fun birthday card for you - I've been inspired by that shark, and his ocean-scene cake!
Will you be inspired as I was? OR will you choose from TWO other options now available through December? Curious? Let's head over to the IB#181 post to check out what's new, and also to see which option my teammates have chosen, shall we?

LOL....who wouldn't love this birthday shark? Although those little fishies who escaped those ferocious teeth should be extra thankful, I think! LOVE the sentiment and your watery background is amazing!
ReplyDeleteGah, so happy to have you back, Michele. You always wow me with your creativity. This card is so cool, except maybe for those baby fish! I really like the big sentiment. Great card!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun card! You have awesome inking in the background and the water splatters add wonderful feeling of texture! Love that shark!
ReplyDeleteI see you've been busy, busy, busy lately and I've been a slug about commenting...sorry! Your cards have all been wonderful, including the fun Llama, the BEAUTIFUL flower card, and of course this FUN birthday card with the shark!! (LOVE his crown!!) Awesome cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteI like his itty bitty crown, he's a hoot! Hope those wee little fishes get out of the way of those chompers! CUTE card!
ReplyDeleteUltra-cute, Michele!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are getting use from that shark. Love the itty bitty fishies. Great card.
ReplyDeleteCutest shark, EVER! I see yours is having a snack. Great colors for his home to...that sentiment die is beautifully layer, as well.
ReplyDeleteWonderful blending and splats in the background and I love that shark and the oversized sentiment. Such a fun card Michele x.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to see a cute and happy looking shark, great watery background too. By the way your links are working correctly, I am sure you would like to know xx
ReplyDeleteThis is jawsome, sharp, and fintastic (sorry, couldn't resist)! This card is so completely perfect, could not love it more!
ReplyDeleteWhy do I have a sudden urge to sing Mack the Knife? This is a mighty happy shark and a very delightful card!
ReplyDeleteI love the big bold sentiment on your beautifully blended ocean, Michele. I've missed this challenge and hope I have something to enter with. I know I don't have fish or sharks.
ReplyDeleteBlue and orange are a fantastic combination (sometimes I wish I were a bear's fan just for that reason, but instead I'm loyal to the green and gold). Do I spy a little blood by that shark's tooth?!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteThe inspirational photo cake is adorable and I love that you took inspiration from the shark. Your card is adorable Michele, loving the "ocean" and of course the shark with his party hat. lol Too cute! The huge bold sentiment is perfect, as you certainly want to make a wish if you come across this fella! lol Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteIt goes without saying just how much I adore this card....and these prompts!! I am back to traveling all over the state once again so I don't think I'm gonna be able to fit in the most. perfect. challenge. for. me. ever.
ReplyDeleteSuper fun card, my friend! Your shark is so cool and I love the oversized sentiment! I also love that you chose orange for the alphas too...very clever! xx
ReplyDeleteDarling and fun! Boy this will one be loved by a young'un
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute and happy shark with a birthday crown, Michele! The layered die-cut sentiment beautifully pops against the gorgeous ocean background! Water splashes are really niche touches. I might see your IG holiday card in the future? :-)
