Waves of Inspiration - Happy Birthday

This is another card that I made over the weekend with my new Waves of the Ocean Collection.  It is going to be a popular early release starting March 1 for customers.  The stamp set and the dies will be available in the annual catalog in May, but not the Waves of Ocean DSP, Blue Foil, or Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels.  Those three items will be while supplies last so why not get the whole collection March 1 for $79.25 #161797
