SSS Tenta- Cuddles Card

As soon as I saw this cute little octopus image from Simon Says Stamp I wanted to make it into a card.  This is the first one but it certainly will not be the last from the "Tenta-Cuddles" set.  This is day number 30 of Kathy Racoosin's Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge . 
This card is going to be my entry for today.

My inspiration for the layout started with the leftover bits and pieces that I had on my craft desk.  The "Instant Camera Die" and the "Stitched Rectangles" background panel cut from white cardstock are both by Lil Inker.  I have had them both for some time.  The patterned paper is taken from "Birthday Bash" 6 X 6 pad by Honey Bee Stamps.  

I made a mask for the octopus and stamped the background images over that mask.  I used a blending brush with Hero Arts inks to color the blue background.   Then removed the mask and colored with Copic Markers.

Thanks for dropping by for a visit.  Your comments, questions and suggestions are always most welcome.
