This is the first full landscape picture I've done with the Waterfront stamp set and to my astonishment was quite pleased with. I must admit I took inspiration from a card on Pinterest, so thank you.

Start with a base card of Whisper White (cs) measuring 21 cm x 14.8 cm scored at 10.5 cm.
There are three layers, the first is Blueberry Bushel measuring 10 cm x 14.3 cm, this is embossed using the Seaside embossing folder and adhered to the base card with liquid glue.
The second layer is also Blueberry Bushel (cs), using the Rectangle Stitiched framelits, die cut using the 3rd largest rectangle from the group of eight. To give it the white edging I used Whisper White craft ink.
The smallest layer is Whisper White (cs) and is die cut using the 4th largest die from the group of eight.
Using this layer and the Waterfront (ss) create your scene (if you don't use the same colours as I did then you will need to change the first and second layers of your card to match your colour scheme). I used Balmy Blue, Blueberry Bushel as a wash, Old Olive stamped off at least once, Sahara Sand stamped off twice, Shaded Spruce, Soft Suede stamped off once. Before stamping the trees I used an Aqua Painter to give the whole scene a gentle wash to leave no sharp white edges. The sky was given a very light wash with balmy blue. Once totally die, adhere this to the second layer using dimensional pads.
On a piece of Whisper White (cs) measuring 11 cm by 1.8 cm stamp the greeting Happy Birthday from the Vertical Greetings (ss). Use the rectangle label die from the Stitched Labels framelits to create the top and bottom edging. Using dimensional pads adhere the greeting to the righthand side of the card.
Now again using dimensional pads adhere the scene to the lefthand side of the card and add the White Perfect (r) accents along the bottom.
