Under the Sea Clean and Simple Birthday Card including DIY Video Tutorial for Little Birdie Crafts

Welcome to my creative space!

It's our grandson's birthday this month. He has an ocean themed room with a giant whale on his wall which he simply adores, so I couldn't resist using this whale image from the Little Birdie Crafts Songs of the Sea collection to create a fun and adorable card for him. I hope you'll watch my video to see how I transformed this mixed media paper collection into this cute clean and simple card.
