This is my card for today's CC495. Vicki is our hostess and she chose Cajun Craze, pool party and blushing bride. Dessert is to use any green.
On this card, I used a new to me stamp set from PTI -"no strings attached". I also cased Betsy Veldman's design on this one. It was the reason I bought the set.
For my background, I used a sponge dauber for my dots with Cajun craze, pool party and gumball green ink. The stamped bow is also in Cajun craze ink. The little tag is also from this set and was stamped in pool party and Cajun craze ink. My celebrate" sentiment is from an MFT set.
For the happy word, I used the PTI "wordplay 5" die and cut in Cajun craze card stock. My birthday sentiment is from a Mark's Finest Papers set.
I finished this card by die cutting a few sequins in blushing bride cardstock with an MFT die.
Hope you can play along with us this week. You may be our next CC fave of the week and have your card featured on our Pinterest board. See the board here.

What a delightful card, Mary. I love the way you used the sponge dauber for the big dots and that thin Cajun wrapping is just perfect. Great design too!

I love this Mary!!! Thanks for sharing about the stamp that looks like a bow. That is genius for someone like me that is totally bow challenged. I love the polka dots you made and the dp that goes with it. Great job!!

I love this card! How clever to make your dots from a sponge dauber! Your gift is adorable, love the stamped twine and bow, and setting it at an angle makes the card even better! Love the sentiment, the sequins, just everything!
