Dots, Dots & more Dots



I started this card by applying distress oxide inks over the Flowing Drops Stencil from Altenew. Then, matching the dotted paper that is behind the stenciled panel, I used Altenew's Halftone Stencil over the first stencil. I stamped the flip flops with the lighter ink and created the polka dots by applying darker ink using the Halftone Stencil again. The pink scalloped circle was die cut from more dotted paper and of course i couldn't let the white circle be plain, so I embossed it with more dots! The little star fish added a nice touch to the circle, and a few sequins added a little more pop to the background. Thanks for stopping by!

Flowing Drops with Azaleas

Happy Accidents. We don't make mistakes, just happy accidents. That's what Bob Ross used to say when we would think 'oh no he made a mistake!'. Well, here I was apply ink through my stencil when it moved slightly. The result: a happy little accident! Some of the drops have extra dimension because the stencil shifted. I blended two shades of yellow distress oxide ink to make the background. I colored the Azaleas with my copics and mounted them to a green oval laid into a white oval outline. After die cutting the sentiment, I used a white gel pen to create some highlights. Added Nuvo Drops to finish this card. Thanks for stopping by!
