Decisions


Had I inked these dots in green I would be reminded of rows of corn planted before they tassle, Had I inked these dots in yellow I would be reminded of a glorious sunny morning, Had I inked these dots in red it would have reminded me of chicken pox (ok, so note to myself not to ink these dots in red...)
I've learned that colors choices along with composition really impact a one layer card. For Kristina Werner's One Layer Card Challenge I chose to ink these dots in blue to remind me of the sky and create a backdrop for the funky flowers.

Supplies Used: Georgia Pacific White Cardstock, For the Love of Dots Clear Acrylic Stamp Set by Practicing Creativity Designs, Flower Stamp Set from Heidi Grace, SU Sweet Little Sentiments Stamp Set, Ice Blue and Citrus Yellow Colorbox Chalk Ink, Stazon Ink Jet Black, Rhinestones from Michaels, Fiskars Corner Round Punch

  7. Great one-layer card, Karen! Love the dots, the funky flowers, and the simplicity of the design. I'd say red polka dots are like cherries ripe for eating... so if you ever decide to give red a try, don't think chicken pox, think cherries! :)
