Octopus Birthday Card

Ah, Whimsie Doodles digis...I sooooooo hated to see that site go out of business ( I loved the images and punny sentiments). It's been several years now, but I still miss them. Some of my past favorites when I first started using digital stamps are from Whimsie Doodles, like this Don't go Bacon My Heart card, or this Let's Get Basted Thanksgiving card (I've used that one quite a few times).


As I've already mentioned, I'm trying to use more of my craft supplies that I've never used/haven't used in a long time. This particular digi was purchased over a decade ago but never used. I thought it was time I did so I'd color it up for a quick birthday card. The sentiment was included with the digi.

Paper is from Craft ID's Throw Kindness Around Like Confetti paper pad (is that a great name or what?!). My ever faithful ric-rac die and some mat enamel dots top it all off.

Supply List
