It's the beginning of a new month and to be honest I feel like time is going by extremely fast! The good news is a new challenge is up at House of Cards! The theme of our challenge this time is Enamel Dots. I don't own any enamel dots so I used a couple of matte black pearls that look a bit like them.
My design was inspired by both the black pearls and this BEAUTIFUL printable from Nicecrane Designs. This sweet Sunbonnet Baby is from a new printable set called Restored Sunbonnet Postcards. I printed the file on white linen cardstock, fussy cut it and covered it with glittery glue to add interest to the image and also to protect it and make it a bit sturdier.
I went for a retro vintage design, using different colors, patterns and elements to create a freestyle collage card. To make this and other similar layerings on my cards I pick a color palette based on the papers I have available, die cut various different shapes and adhere all the pieces. Sometimes I overthink the position of the different layers and sometimes it's a spontaneous process, but I do like every single layer to show without overwhelming the focal point of the card, in this case the lovely Sunbonnet Baby.
All the links to the supplies used are listed below so you can check them out! I hope you have enjoyed today's post! Make sure you visit House of Cards to see what my talented teammates have created for this month's challenge. I can't wait to see what you make for this month's Enamel Dots theme challenge!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Have a great week!
I'd like to share my card with:
