STAMPOTIQUE DESIGNERS' CHALLENGE 112: POLKA DOTS

It's Wednesday, and, by now, you know what that means!  The Stampotique Designers' Challenge is up!  Roc Nicholas is our host today, and here's her challenge:
"Hi everyone.  I am really happy to be hosting this week's challenge.  I'm asking you to create something with polka dots.  There is something about polka dots that makes me smile.  You can't be sad when you are creating them.  So make them big. Make them small.  Make them any size at all.  See how many polka dots you can work into your art, but most of all, have fun.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!"
I decided to surprise you today and make a card!  It's a card of encouragement that I made for a friend whose been in a bit of a slump lately.  Anais Nin's quote was perfect.



I used the "spidergrass stamp" designed for Stampotique Originals by Jo Capper-Sandon, which you can buy here.

If you would like a chance to win a $30 gift certificate from Stampotique Originals, you can do so by following the directions here.  It is not required that you use a Stampotique stamp, but you are encouraged to do so if you have them!

Thanks again for stopping by today.  I so appreciate both your visits and your comments!

Cheers!
