This was created for the Pink and White challenge at http://daranddiane.blogspot.com/. Decided to try a similar design to something seen on Pinterest and this is my take on that card; found here, http://www.stampingscene@blogspot.com.

I started by creating the polka dot strip using the stamp from Lisa Hetrick’s new set called Today and Always. I used 2 different pink distress oxide inks and stamped the image twice but only used half the stamp each time. I then used a glue pen and made a few squiggles here and there after which I placed some scrap gold foil and burnished it into the sticky areas. This added a bit of gold. With another scrap piece of paper I divided my card almost in half so I could stamp the sun (StampinUp) at the bottom and I heat embossed in gold. Adhered the polka dot piece after cutting it out with deckle edged scissors. On white CS I stamped the flowers and leaves from the set called Fancy Flowers by GKD using another of the pink inks. I fussy cut them all out and then added the leaves to the back of three of the flowers before gluing them to the card front. I did use dimensionals on a couple of the flowers. The sentiment is a combination of a stamp from Beth Silaika – All Star set and a word die I’ve had for ages but hardly used. I had cut the word in black but didn’t like it so I went over it in silver with a liquid chrome pen. Didn’t like that either so I cut another word and heat embossed in gold. I offset the gold piece slightly over the original one and now like it much better.
Oh how you are using what you have. Love every inch of this. Those dots are something I have not inked yet, but need to.
