I made this card for a set of cat card for my boss. Today's Mixability Challenge was to repeat a design element. I chose circles. I started by creating my own circle stencil. I took the three smallest circle dies and cut them out repeatedly from a piece of White CS. Then I sealed the CS with Mod Podge to give the stencil a bit more longevity. I used this stencil to ink up my White background piece. I used it multiple times with different colored inks, moving it around to get fuller coverage with the circles overlapping one another. Then I stamped the rows of dots in Green galore and Coastal Cabana ink. This ink seemed very wet, so I sprinkled it with some Iridescent Ice EP which clung to parts of the image. I used Pool Party to stamp the Dotted background stamp over this. Then I used white craft ink and White EP with some dotted circle stamps. I stamped my images on White CS, cut them into circles, layered them onto colored CS and overlapped them over my stamped background. I added some dotted ribbon and a dot EF to finish this card off.
