Silhouette Sunday - Birthday Octopus

Here is the card I made for today's "Silhouette Sunday" feature:

The card is 4 1/2"x6 1/4."  The card base is made from white card stock.  I then cut two mats, a black one at 4 3/8"x6 1/8" and the blue watery patterned card stock at 4 1/4"x6."  

The octopus was cut using the Silhouette.  I it about 3 1/2" tall and just over 5 3/4" long.  It is called "octopus" and is by Miss Kate Cuttables (#42307). 

I used a stamp from Scrappy Moms Stamps for my sentiment and stamped it in the upper right corner.  I then used some liquid pearls in white and a baby blue to add a little texture and dimension to the card.
