Dots. Dots and More Dots

When I started this card I didn't realize how long it would take. Took ages to place the diff. color dots along bottom of the hot pink cardstock, as well as the vase and tiny flowers which were done using the Itty Bitty punch pack. The branch is from Stampin'Up Thoughts & Prayers stamp set. The birthday punch sits on dimensionals and it's from Stampin'Up Perfect punches.

Thinking of You

I made this card for the Mojo Monday contest. Used moss green for the base card and with a Tim Holtz idea-ology ruler and highlighted the holes with a Stampin'Up marker pen in purple color. Did a strip of dark mauve cardstock into a ripple effect using my paper crimper.  A candy stip piece of ribbon was placed across the cardstock as my next step. Cut two diff. pieces of cardstock and placed them on top of the ribbon. Found a cute ribbon with butterflies on it and did a bow, along with Martha Stewart butterfly punch to make two accent butterflies to finish off the top to this card. Two tiny white pearls from Stampin'Up stash were placed onto the butterflies. Sentiment is from Cardztv (home for christmas) stamp set. I used Labels Fourteen from Nesties in purple to finish off the verse.

I used a light blue cardstock for the base card and proceeded to use a Tim Holtz idea-ology ruler to make my holes around the base.

Had scrap striped paper in my stash which I placed on bottom of card as well as made corners to finish it off. My handsome man was done with copic markers. Tuffy from Michael's used to make clouds, had to use my heat gun to puff them up which gave a more natural look. Sentiment was computer written.
