Hello Polka Dots



For K. Werner's Color Challenge this week, it was...well let's say A CHALLENGE. I would never combine most of these colors together. They look nice in the button journal above, but they were quite difficult to work with to create a card. So, when all else fails, I use polka dots because they solve all of my designer challenges!

To create this card:
  1. Trim card base to 4.25" x 11", then score at 5.5".
  2. Stamp polka dots on the brown card base.
  3. Die cut square in white cardstock and a scalloped square in teal cardstock.
  4. Stamp flower square in orange ink on white square.
  5. With dimensionals, pop white square off of scalloped square.
  6. Tie ribbon around bottom of card base and double the knot.
  7. Add buttons tied in blue twine.
  8. Pop the square off of the card base to the right of the ribbon knots.
  9. Stamp sentiment in brown ink on white cardstock.
  10. Adhere to side of card.
