Seashell Vase Birthday

 Good morning! I'd like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Just Us Girls #792- Word Week: Container

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Add Some Metal

Triple B - Birds, Blooms, and Butterflies

A Cut Above September - Anything Goes with Die Cuts

I created my background with Lindy's Magicals on watercolor paper. I love that you never get the same look twice when playing with these cool little jars of magical powder!  I used one of my favorite tag dies with some Navy cardstock and attached it with a metal flower brad. I stamped the sentiment on the background, then stamped the pretty shell with flowers from the Floral Shells set at Pink & Main with Navy Oxide Ink and embossed with clear embossing powder, then sponged the edges with some more ink and attached with foam dimensional tape. Peace.
