My daughter asked me to make a 40th birthday card for her to give to a colleague. She sent me a photo of this poster for inspiration:
It took me a while to come up with an idea, but when I saw this card by Carol Mcfarlane, I was inspired to make a card with a diving swimmer. (Carol's card was inspired by an art print too!)
My card is a bridge card with acetate to support the diver. The diver is a Glitz SVG from the Silhouette store , cut on a digital cutter. I dry embossed the base and sides and stamped Happy Birthday.
I'd like to enter:
The Sisterhood of Crafters - shapes - diamonds on the embossing and the 'pool' is a trimmed off triangle.

Second attempt to thank you for the shout out for my diver card! (My computer did something and it disappeared) Your diver bridge card is fabulous! I love the poster too that inspired it! It is fun to take (and share) the inspiration for our cards, isn't it?
Great card. Anesha x
That card style works perfectly for a diver! Thanks for sharing with us at HLS Birthday :)
What a great inspired card Marina! LOVE that diver and the wonderful bridge fold card design - I recently found out about this fold at a challenge over at Splitcoaststampers and have made a few cards using it - you have given me more inspiration with your lovely creation! Julia
Your daughter has given you many fun themes and challenges for her card needs through the years, and you always solve the challenges with ease - or that's how it looks when I see the finished result. This particular card has something of a retro vibe to it, it reminds me of a candy I got as a child, look here: https://www.ta.no/nyheter/mat-og-drikke/godteri/vet-du-dette-om-lordagsgodtet/s/5-50-336606
