...Polka Dots! Hello today for AnnaBelle's Friday Challenge! This was an easy challenge to take part in today, and I knew exactly which stamp I would use to create my own polka dots!
AnnaBelle Supplies : Stamps - All Things Grow, BBD1; Natural Cotton Twine; Sprinkles - 6mm Pumpkin; Distress Inks.
Other Supplies : Spellbinders, button.
It's time to pull out your inks and start distressing! My card started it's day as white cardstock, and all of it has been sponged/distressed, I just love doing this!
The card has been sponged with Dried Marigold (just around the edges) then edged in Walnut Stain. The next panel was sponged with Shabby Shutters, edged with Walnut Stain and stamped with the dots from BBD1 in Dried Marigold.
I used four colours for the inner circle - Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade, Shabby Shutters, and Peeled Paint.
To help me get started I used the sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketches :
Thanks for coming and seeing what I've been up to! We'd love to see your polka dot creations this week shared on the ABS blog! Hope to see you there :)
Check out the other Belles and Bellas this week for more inspiration!

Great card. Wonderful colors that compliment the images you used. I have a feeling that BG stamp is going to be popular this week!

Gosh Andrea I so love what you do with ink, no way could I make a white card base look that good! FAB work with the background dots, I see I will "need" this stamp set too lol.
LOVE the elegant design and the gorgeous colour scheme, thanks for sharing!

Hi Andrea,
I love the way you do your distressing - I thought it was patterned paper - that's how professional it looks!! Lovely card and I love the butterfly in the corner.
Have a great weekend
