Oh my gosh, I've been busting at the seams to share my news with you! I am delighted to report that...I received an invitation to join the Create with Connie & Mary Thursday Design Team!! This is a huge honor to me as I have been playing along with their challenges for awhile and find them among my faves. Now, I am excited to share them with you! OK, enough about me (LOL) you came here for a card and a card you shall have but first...this week's challenge! It's a sketch challenge--don't you just love sketches?
I flipped the sketch on it's side and made this:
Isn't it happy?! Last week I was working on a big project with the Playful Polka Dots Simply Scrappin' Kit and many of the elements on today's card are left-overs from the kit...
including this big Daffodil Delight polka dot scalloped circle onto which I layered three Rose Red flowers from Fabulous Florets. I tucked in a few polka dot leaves from the kit--love how they repeat the polka dots in the circle and the embossed background. And what is my favorite companion pattern to polka dots?
and I used an left-over piece on the inside trimmed out with a Rose Red scallop ribbon border.
supplies:
stamps: fabulous florets, happy greetings
ink: rose red, old olive
paper: playful polka dots simply scrappin' kit
xtras: polka dot impressions folder; rose red seam binding ribbon; scallop ribbon border punch; petal cone die
