Card sketch #196 for Paper Craft Crew - polka dots & a butterfly



Here is the current Paper Craft Crew card sketch challenge #196, which I used for today's card: 
http://www.papercraftcrew.com/pcccs-196-card-sketch/

Here is the card I am submitting:
 
The Stampin' Up items I used are:
Thoughtful Banners
Old Olive and Marina Mist cardstock
Butterflies Thinlits
Blossom Bunch Punch
Large Polka Dots Embossing Folder
Wink of Stella Clear
White and black cardstock
Rhinestones
White ribbon

I used a sponge dauber to sponge on my background of old olive and marina mist polka dots....can you tell I love polka dots?!

Here are a couple of closeups of my card:


If you look real close at the picture above, you can see the butterfly shimmers with the Wink of Stella, and that I sponged marina mist ink on the two flowers. And that I ruched (ruffled) the ribbon.

  2. Wow - I was trying to figure out where this fabulous DSP came from -then I read that you created your own background! It's fabulous, Mary! It complements the large polka dot embossing perfectly, and the ruched ribbon is a great touch. So glad you joined our Paper Craft Crew challenge this week. ~Deborah
