- Stamps – Basic Grey “Cakes” clear set and Inkadinkado “Happy Birthday”
- Papers – BoBunny “Bashful Dot” and Jenni Bowlen “Vanilla Creme Large Dot Coredinations Embossed Cardstock”
- Ribbon – American Crafts
- Die cuts – Spellbinders Nestabilities “Labels Nine”
This week’s challenge at Operation Write Home is Polka Dots. I have lots of polka dots in my stash: tons of papers, ribbon, round punches, border punches with dots… So I had no problem coming up with something! The cardstock has a lighter colored core, so when you sand it with a sanding block, a lighter color shows through. I stipple brushed ink on the edges of everything as well, so everything is nice and distressed! Thanks for checking-in.

This is a simple card that I dressed up by coloring the image with Copic markers and added some faux stitching around the edges. Then I popped up the image for some dimension. I made this for Operation Write Home as part of the current Masculine Card Challenge. Thanks for stopping by.
