She spot lights the trio of kittens from the Newton's Birthday Trio stamp and cut using the coordinating die set. The glossy accents on the small speech bubbles adds a nice finishing touch!  SpeCATular!

 Debbie Owens takes us under the sea using the challenge colors. Using the square scallop-edged die from the Frames Squared die set, she die cuts a lavender pattern paper layer.  She adds a circular scallop-edged using a die from the Circle Frames die set. On this circle she has added some subtle waves using texture paste and the Waves stencil. In those waves, she adds Newton from the Scuba Newton stamp set.  She adds sea critters, coral, and seaweed using elements from both the Tides of Love stamp set and the Scuba Newton stamp set. Her last touch is the speech bubble die cut using the Speech Bubbles die set. Delightful!
