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!
Ink: Melon Berry, Pink Piriouette (SU); Leaf, Baby Blue (Shadow Ink – HA);
Paper: Not Quite Navy, Pear Pizzaz (SU); White (PTI);
Other: machine stitching; button (MM); thread (DMC);
That pear color looks like Simply Chartreuse which is what I thought it was…and I love it with the pink….for your friend with the measles *giggles*
Ooooh, great card! I love your stamped text background, and of course the polka dotted flower!
CAS and cute, Karen! Love the polka dotted flower, the sentiment background, and the stitching (I think it looks fine just on the layer it’s on)!
Very cute card! That polka dot flower is sweet.
