I made this card for 2 Challenges. The first one is from Sharon Johnson's 'No Time to Stamp?' blog - Stamp Simply #101 - Let's Polka - Blogs at Splitcoaststampers - where Sharon wants to see LOTS of dots - the more, the merrier! And the second challenge is for Sketch Saturday's Sketch Challenge #65 - http://sketchsaturday.blogspot.com/2...nsored-by.html
The dog was stamped on 210gsm w/c paper and was coloured with Gamsol, Prismacolor pencils and Acrylic paints. I added a little bit of Kindyglitz Crystalina to the candle and the candlelight (hard to see in the photo). The top and bottom strips of Core'dinations raw sienna cs were embossed with my CB and the small dots ef from the 'Just my Type' set, and I sanded the dots lightly to highlight them.
The sentiment was stamped with Versacolor Topaz and embossed with clear ep, and was punched with my Kaszazz 43mm circle punch, and diecut with my CB and Spellbinders large circle and large scalloped circle nesties. I paper pierced around the scallops to add some MORE dots (again hard to see in photo).
Both the image and sentiment were popped up on mounts. I thought having a polka dot ribbon looked to be too much, so after much deliberation I settled for a simple black satin ribbon but with the sheer brown polka dot brown ribbon tied thru, which also follows the Sketch's requirement of 3 embellies in the bottom LH corner (if you count the brad as well as the 2 ribbons).
Hope you enjoyed having a peek at my card!
