By the Bay again...

I am still loving the "By the Bay" suite on page 22 in the Spring Mini Catalog.  I can't seem to put the stamps back on the shelf.  I watched the demonstrations at the Stampin' Up! convention in Vienna.  Someone made this card while on stage.  It was so beautiful that I would make it. The dies cut out the shells and the bird from the DSP. I used gold foil in the center of the Painted Labels die cut.  The tag is in Crumb Cake. This card is a sympathy card but it could be a thinking of you or a birthday card by just changing the words.  This suite is so versatile and I love using it.
