I used some scraps left over from my Making Waves kit, which is mermaid and beach themed- although you can't really tell by this card. The patterned paper has a starfish and floral pattern on it, and so I added some extra star stamps to mirror this theme.
I stamped the circle in Bashful ink with a subtle polka dot pattern to mimic the ribbon patter and the purple polka dot paper strip.
Ribbon is a great way to add interest and texture to a card, and I also added a couple of glitter gems.
I'm linking this card up with the Seize The Birthday challenge- Beachy Birthday and the Craft Rocket Birthday challenge.
