Polka Dot Friend

Hmmm…that title makes me think friend with measles. Oh well, I’m sure you see what I mean, right? 😀

This week’s CAS challenge at SCS was using polka dots (cas78). I immediately thought about my Polka Dot Posies set – one I don’t use often.

To do the background, I cut the sentiment stamp into individual pieces. The layout is from a Fall-To-Layout sketch (ftl101). The sketch shows a different paper at the top and bottom of the background panel. Originally I stamped the background leaving a space, but that didn’t seem to be good enough, so I decided I would stitch. Of course my intention was for the stitching to hang over onto the green layer, but alas, I’m not to handy with this machine yet. But I still like it.

I know the button isn’t the best match, but in real life, it isn’t as obvious.

Thanks for stopping by!
