Polka Dot Pieces

This is a catalog case of one of my favorite cards shown in the new catalog. (page 139) I followed the example with the exception of the bottom treatment. I did stitch along the card stock – but mine is a separate piece that I adhered later. I also went with a more symmetrical look on the bottom piece. Love it! I love the Crumb Cake card stock with foil vellum and glitter. Just an off-beat look. My ribbon is darker than the sample because I took the Blushing Bride ribbon and ran it over my Crisp Cantaloupe ink pad.

Here’s my last catalog case (for now!) from page 139, using Polka Dot Pieces. The catalog did some sewing on the bottom of the card. I chose to machine stitch a piece of Craft card stock and then adhere it to the front. Instead of just a piece of washi tape, I put mine across the entire front. The ribbon on my card was Blushing Bride 1/4 cotton that I ran over my Cantaloupe Crisp ink pad. I should have started with Whisper White ribbon – but the Blushing Bride worked. I think I’m going to LOVE this ribbon!
