What a fun sketch, Meg (WAXYO) and Roxie (Rox 71--for finding it)! I made this card a la Faith (markie's mom) because I couldn't figure out any other paper that worked well to mat the layers except black, and plain black was just, well, too plain. So thanks for the dotted inspiration, Faith (I love your creations!)!
This Spring Bonnet image is from Whipper Snapper. The sentiment is from the WS cling mount set "Friendly Expressions." It has such great sentiments (and a great bunch of flowers)! I think I'll give this card to Mom for Mother's Day since she's one of a kind in the BEST possible way!
I wanted to color the image with Copics, but I didn't have enough blending colors. So I used Copic markers, a SU! marker, and Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol to blend! Can you tell which is which?
ETA: I just thought something was missing from the bottom of the long panel, so I added the 1/2" circles of black, 1/4" circles of white, and red Dew Drops. More white dots around the edges.

WOW!! This is awesome!!! Love the combination of colours - the black makes everything POP and along with all those white dots really makes this stunning! Love how you've combined two different lots of BG paper and you've done an amazing job of the challenge!!

Shellie, I LOVE this card. The colors are so beautiful and look great with the black mats with white dots (A LA FAITH). Isn't Faith fantastic too? Thanks for sharing your beautiful card.

Where have I been to miss seeing this sharp looking card until today?! The dots on the black really do make everything pop and that sweet bonnet is colored perfectly on this lovely card!
