Polka Dots!

Yes, polka dots.  A simple thing, but they can have a very powerful impact on a card.

A Muse Studio has a stamp set called "polka dot
patterns" and they are one of my favorite sets to
add visual interest to a card.  They certainly added
a lot to this one!

In creating this card I was going to stamp the
leaf on the side of the stem of the flower,
but decided that my Martha Stewart leaf punch
would balance out the weight of the
flower and button.

Simple dots.  Yep, that is the ticket...to a
really fun card!

Hope you like it!

Have a lovely creative day!

Spectacular Birthday

Sometimes simple really is best.

I wanted a simple, graphic card to express
birthday greetings.  So I played around with
my paper and decided that having
this diagonal stripe was a great way
to showcase the image.

No more embellishments are needed.  The bright
watermelon cardstock, and the striking
image was all that was needed to make
this card really "pop".

Fun!

Have a "Spectacular" Day!
