I enjoyed using the August and September Polka Dot Whimsy kits to put together some cards.
The kits have really unique trims and embellishments. This first card was a project that kept building upon itself. I started with the striped paper base and days of the week sheet. Then I added the tag and fabric strip and border sticker. I wanted to pair the Handle with Care sticker with the heart, but just the two of them together seemed not quite enough. So, I started layering different pieced and came up with this.
This card came together really quickly. I just matted the MME quote card and then added buttons and the butterflies. I stitched the trim to the orange dot paper to keep it secured.
This is a card that got picked up for publication in the March 2012 CARDS Trends. So, I'll have to wait to share that one.
Which card is your favorite?
Enjoy your day :)
