Oh what fun I had playing along with Kelli's dotty HYCCT1425 challenge!
I looked back in my gallery to find my first and only time using this technique and found that it was almost a year ago exactly. I was playing along with Bev's HYCCT challenge but wasn't overly thrilled with my attempt so I was a bit hesitant to try again.
Turns out I love this one! I could pick a part a few things but as a very wise woman recently said, "Don't Over Think It" so I am not going to! I had a blast stamping that eraser over and over. Thanks Kelli for giving me the opportunity to try this technique again!
I was also thrilled to see Lois (clownmom) as QFTD this week!!! I have designed with Lois at MFP for the last couple of years so I was super excited to see her as our new Queen! In all the time I have worked with Lois, I have never read an unkind word from her and wow is she talented! Lois's gallery overflows with clean lines and beautifully colored images. Congrats Lois!
This CARD inspired my design. Seeing the dots in her design gave me the idea to combine QFTD with Kelli's HYCCT challenge and her die cut flower is what inspired my use of the Chloe Stem die.

Soft, dotty, beauty, Angie. Love the dusty tones, and the pearls make those dies just awesome. Your dots are fabulous and I'm tucking this beauty into my faves

I love the repeated theme of circles and your pearls just makes it extra special! Very nice!

Hi, gallery neighbor! This is beautiful; I love everything about it -- especially those pearls that you stuck onto your flower. The way you made the shadow flower with a second die cut looks really pretty!
That is the most perfect die cut for this challenge. Such wonderful touches in your card and then there is the wonderful message. So well thought out, Angela.

I can't believe how your bokeh technique gives the feeling that your flower ends are blowing away in the wind! Such a beautiful feeling of a gentle breeze taking them away to reproduce in another area! And your sentiment says it all so well! ~Hugs

Wow- so this is what happens when two of my favorite designers come together! Angie, your color choices are exquisite and the pearls add just the right touch of elegance. And you chose a great card to case, too. I'm always excited to see what new creations "the other Lois" is adding to the gallery. Thanks to both of you for being such great inspirers!
