Double D - Stripes & Dots

Hello Dear Friends!

It's time once again for a new challenge over on the Double D Challenge Blog!

I'm hosting today and as you can see by my blog title ... the theme is 

STRIPES & DOTS

I love seeing stripes & dots together and it really doesn't take much to make them stand out!  The dotted portion of my card is actually the REVERSE of the floral panel.  I did a little fussy cutting around the flowers to created my 'flower garden' and then cut the 1" strip from the bottom and simply  flipped it over.  A few extra prima flowers were added for extra texture and dimension.  The Striped panel comes from the Penny Black 'Beau Jardin' 6x6 paper pack.  The floral/polka dot panel comes from an Authentique paper pack called 'Cheerful'.

My Verses stamped sentiment was stamped onto a left over panel using the Tutti Designs Cross Stitched Nesting Squares .

The square was just a little too long for the space I had so after stamping, I simply lined the die back up at the bottom of my words and ran it through my machine just far enough to give it a new die cut bottom.  The same thing was done with the cute girl image (also from the Authentique paper pad).  I had the water colored square panel laying in my 'extras' pile and liked that it matched the poppies so well so it quickly became my mat panel ... just needed a little 'resizing'.  But the die set used for this panel is the Tutti Designs Dotted Nesting Squares.

Ooops ... I forgot to share the fun mood board I created to help inspire you ...
