Birthday Dolphin

This is a card for my niece, who is a fan of dolphins.

I tried to keep the front simple, and I put the sentiment inside. The sky is created by sponging around a scallop circle mask, and the water is texturized by running it through the Big Shot, sponging to highlight the texture, and punching 3/4" circles out for the waves. I found the directions for the punch art dolphin on Lucia Dawe's blog.
