Big Smile

This card was initially inspired by Pals Paper Arts #260 Sketch Challenge but when I saw the Inkspirational #87 Kraft Challenge I decided to combine them along with Can You Case It #79, Anything Goes.

I've had some dot circles dies for a while that I was unsure how to use and I thought this card would be the perfect opportunity. Starting with a card base of Kraft paper, various circles were cut from three DSP designs and one solid colored cardstock. The designs were layered and adhered, mixing colors and designs.

The red focal design is a negative leftover piece. It is backed with cardstock for rigidity. A circle and dots were adhered along with the little banners on the left. The sentiment was die cut twice and adhered using a shadow effect. This was backed with craft foam to add dimension and adhered to the card base.

The inside was lined with a piece of white cardstock and trimmed with a circle border.

Join in the challenges at PPA #260, Inkspirational #87 and CYCI #79 for some card making fun!
