More Hero Arts schwag

So I also got the Paper Layering Octopus, because he's just so darn cute!  Here was my inspiration, and here is my card :

I went with a black card base, and didn't cut up the sentiment.  I'm just a lil too OCD for that lol.  I ink smooshed the background on watercolor paper- love how that turned out!- and did direct to paper of the Hero Arts Dolphin Ombre ink pad to color the paper for the octopus.

Supplies used:

Hero Arts MMH July kit- sentiment and sequins, Ombre ink pad
HA Paper Layering Octopus dies
Distress inks: Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch
Versamark ink
White detail embossing powder

Thanks for looking!
