SK Sea & Cats: Bubble Birthday

 Lawn Fawn Lovable Legends,
Papertrey Ink - Keep It Simple: Birthday II Mini Stamp Set

Card 3 in my Sea and Cats Stash Kit features yet another adorable Lawn Fawn squid, along with a sentiment from PTI's Birthday II mini stamps.

I kept this card a little more on the masculine side - as it feels like it would be fitting for a boy birthday card. So, a palette of green with some sparkly enamel dots as bubbles worked perfectly for what I had in mind.

Being a boy card, I kept it very simple beyond that, adding just a sentiment and a small circle to ground the images.

Stash Kit - Sea and Cats

Today, I'm sharing the stamps that I'm using in my Sea and Cats stash kit (read about my stash kit project here). I've named this kit Sea and Cats because it includes some nautical elements and a kitty stamp set. I don't think I'll be combining the two ideas necessarily (though the idea of a seafaring kitten does sound fun), but I will be using elements from all sets to create birthday cards.

Here are the stamps that I'll be using in this kit:

Lawn Fawn Lovable Legends

My Favorite Things - Cat-itude

WPlus9 Dockside (large set from 2013, now retired)

Papertrey Ink - Keep It Simple: Birthday II Mini Stamp Set

I have also selected various patterned papers from my stash, with a combination of darker (muted) blues/teals/greens and a few bright pieces for the kitten cards.

Lastly, I'm using up some enamel dots:
