Stampin' Up! Whale Done Birthday Card

Good morning and welcome to another Monday Makeover Madness card. Last Thursday I posted this card ...

and today I made it over like this ...

I had created it for a speed challenge and I went over the 10 minute limit. I also had made it for our Thursday Blog Hop but didn't feel it fit the sketch challenge as well. I've got one more photo to show you before I go on to my card...

This is a 6" Guillotine that was in my husband's family. On the arm it reads "Diamond" Patent January 17, 1885. It still cuts perfectly and did a great job cutting the piece of Pool Party card stock that had already been embossed.

Once I cut it to the correct size, I adhered it to a mat of Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper, which I had adhered to my Pacific Point card base. Then I adhered the bottom strip from the same DSP. I had also cut a small strip that was the same as the DSP mat, which made the card front flush. 

The whales are from the same DSP and the largest one is punched with the Whale Builder Punch. The momma and the baby are fussy cut. The sprays are the back side of the DSP. 

Here's the inside...

The sentiments, fish and coral are from the Whale Done Stamp Set. The inks I used are Pacific Point, Misty Moonlight, Pool Party and Calypso Coral.

I'm entering my card at Seize the Birthday: Seize the Birthday #195 - Non-neutral Card Base.

I'm also playing at Artsystamper Digitals Challenge #20 Birthday; at Crafting Happiness ATG #59; and at Global Design Project: #GDP251 - Theme: Aquatic.
