Dory & Merlin Birthday Card

Hello Crafters,

Today begins the PDE Linky Party #168 Card Challenge.

For this challenge I'm sharing with you a birthday card I made for my neighbor's daughter who is like a niece to me.   

I try to make a card to follow the theme of her birthday party and this year her birthday party theme was Findy Dory.    

As soon as I found out what the theme was I knew I had to use the Dory and Merlin that I got free from the SVG Cutting Files Best Friends Blog Hop from 2014 and accented them with various types of seaweed.  

I used my CuddleBug Polka Dot Embossing folder to emboss the blue paper I used for the water.   I printed and then cut the "Guess who's turning 5?" on a speech bubble.  

My eBrush got a big workout accenting all the seaweed and the paper I used for the sand.   

Here is a close up of Dory and the seaweed that I placed on the left hand side of the card.  I used some of my gel pens to give additional accents to the seaweed.

 Here is a close up of Merlin and the seaweed that I placed on the right hand side of the card. 

 Here is a close up of the sand and the purple coral that I used metalic sharpies to accent.
