Distressed, Corrugated, Punched, Stamped, Die Cut and Water-colored Birthday. . .

TODAY'S CARD:

This card was super fun to make...because it had a lot of different elements and textures....but was still super easy! 

My card base is Early Espresso.  The mat layers are Crumb Cake, Early Espresso again and Soft Suede. 

I stamped the Hardwood stamp on Crumb Cake card stock with Early Espresso ink.  Then I distressed the heck out of the edges and adhered to card front. 

Next I used my corrugator to add dimension to the Early Espresso and Soft Suede mats and adhered to card front. 

I stamped the fish from the Best Catch Bundle and die cut....then I water colored using Aqua Painter and inks. 

The greeting is from the Blow Out The Candles Bundle. 

The flagged banner for the greeting was made using the Triple Banner Punch.

What is your opinion....is this card too busy....got too much happening on one card?  I would love your input.
