This is for this week's CAS challenge: ways to use it: POLKA DOTS!!!!
This is also one of my last cards for the DTGD challenges!
I know what you're thinking, "baby?!?" But I love those super-fun-bright modern nurseries you see every once in a while and thought this would be a fun card for chic new mom. I used three sizes of Nestability Blossom dies to cut the Rose Red, then stamped each one with increasingly larger polka dots from PTI Polka Dot Basics II in Fresh Snow. Then I crumpled and mashed and crumpled and mashed and snipped the petals of the larger circles. I cut three Kiwi Kiss blossoms the same size as the largest flower, then glue dotted them underneath--I think it looks more proportional than using the next size up of the blossom die. I added a button from my stash and the SU Jewelry Tag punch stamped with "baby" from PTI Mixed Messages. I cut two Nestabilities Label One dies from PTI Summer Sunrise and embossed them with Swiss Dots. I also cut some smaller edges from the Label One die in Kiwi Kiss. Everything is mounted onto PTI Hawaiian Shores.
