Thanks for hosting the inspiration challenge today Anne! I recently purchased a wonderful Gina K Designs stamp set called Gifts from the Sea - so today's Outer Banks Trading CO web site inspired me to use this set!
I made my little bag from a PTI die, stamped the sea gulls and sand images on the front and sponged the edges all around.
I white embossed the sand dollar on Creamy Caramel cardstock and adhered it to the bag with foam tape. Stamped the happy birthday, cut it with an oval punch and adhered that with foam tape. Then I just added a twine bow and some basket shred.

I love the simple images of the sand and gulls you added to this bag. The sand dollar is fab. They are magic as far as I'm concerned.....the loveliest sea creatures.....just a wonder to behold. Finding one is a real treasure, isn't it??

Of all the IC cards today, Julia, your's definitely reflects exactly what you saw in your vision. I think your basket is totally darling and fun. What a perfectly sweet gift box.

I may have already commented on this - I saw it yesterday and I was so amazed. It is the coolest thing - I am totally impressed so it would be worth two comments for sure. What a beauty - I love the basket shape, the colors - everything! Wow!
