Addicted to Stamps Polka Dot Challenge


Happy Sunday, Dearest Readers,

It's that time again! Time for a new challenge at theAddicted to Stamps Challenge Blog! I cannot believe how quickly time is flying by!

This time, your challenge is to create a card that has…

Polka Dots!


When I was teaching, I seemed to very often buy dresses/outfits that had polka dots! Next to Sailor themed clothes, the polka dots were a close second! LOL

Now, back to the challenge! LOL We would love for you to create a card that features polka dots in some way. I'm having some vision issues, so my card does not have a colored and stamped image as usual. However, I DID stamp each of the dots on the top! I had a texture stamp that I used for the pattern. Then, I used a Nestie die to cut each circle out. Lastly, I inked the edges for depth. Would you like to see my creation? Well, here it is:



For my card, I used my Nestie Grande circle and scalloped circle die sets. For the bottom half, done in the greenish yellow, I used a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder which I think is called, "Dots." I added some matching buttons. The round ones are Basic Grey and the shaped ones are from my stash. I also used Bazzil card stock in a Teal color. There is a teal ribbon band as well as a pretty teal and green bow. For some reason, the bow is lighter in the photo than it is in real life. Go figure.

Here is a shot from the side.



I hope you will leave a comment for me so I know what you think. Also, I hope you will join the Polka Dot Challenge! It should be fun. I love polka dots! They just seem so cheery!

Thank you for visiting! I so love that you've taken time out of your busy life to stop by!

XO,

Chris
