Party Time Tuesdays #171 Polka Dot Challenge!!

Hey Everyone!! Happy Tuesday to you all!! I hope your day is off to a great start!! It's that time again for another awesome challenge over at the Party Time Tuesdays blog: partytimetuesdays.blogspot.com and this week's theme is: Polka Dots!!

Make sure to stop by the Party Time Tuesdays blog to check out all the great projects my fellow DT members have created to inspire you.

Here is a pic of the project I created using Polka Dots:

For my card base, I went with a 5 1/2 x 7 1/2" sheet of white cardstock.

I cut a sheet of red polka dot for my layer at 5 1/4 x 7 1/4" and used my ATG gun to adhere it down.

The red polka dot paper I got from a DCWV "Stack 8" paper pack.

I added a strip of blue cardstock, cut at 1 1/2 x 5 1/4", to the center of the card.

I used a white gel pen to add some doodling and stitch lines.

Once I had my card base finished, I set to work on coloring the image.

For the image, I chose this "Thank You Girl with Flowers" digital stamp from the Handmade Harbour store: handmadeharbour.co.uk.

I printed the image on white cardstock and trimmed it down to 4 x 6".

I used my Bic MarkIt markers to color her in.

Here is a list of the colors I used:

- Oceanview Blue, Blue Skies Blue, Deep Sea Blue- for the jeans, jacket and hat band

- Rambunctious Red, Honey Brown- for the galoshes, sweater and rose

- Tiki Hut Tan, Honey Brown, Woodsy Brown- for the hair

- Key Lime, Forest Green- for the leaves

- Pink Flamingo, Fandango Pink, Yellow Blaze, Summer Melon- for the flowers

- Polynesian Purple, Desert Rose- for the tissue paper wrapping

I also used a peach, grey and pink colored pencil for her skin and for the ground.

I added some details to the flowers, hat band and jeans with a white gel pen.

I used Glossy Accents for the galoshes, jacket and hat band.

To finish off the card, I mounted the image on a sheet of blue cardstock cut 1/4" bigger and used pop dots to adhere it to the card.

And ta-da!! card complete!!

I hope you enjoyed this project for today.

Enjoy the rest of your day and Peace!! :)
