My inspiration for this card came from a t-shirt I saw a young woman wearing. Her t-shirt was close to brocade blue with this huge chocolate brown circle in the center trimmed in white. So, I started with punching my brown and white circles and the rest evolved from there. Faux stitching on the circles was done around a quarter. White polka dots on the brown was done with a white gel pen and the circles from the mat pack. The blue polka dot buttons were purchased at a local store. I used the Linen bg stamp. TFL!

Polka dots! I love this card. I've never done a card in brown and blue (I don't think!) but I love the colors here! I am ordering the linen stamp tommorrow night. I borrowed it from a friend and had a hard time returning it....but I did!

love the colours and the texture to this one. thanks for the tip on using a coin to make the circles. I was wondering how you did such a great job until I read your description.
