Hi there!
It feels like ages ago that I played along in a challenge. No better way to get started again with the inspiration of some of my favorite challenges :)
My card was made using the negative of a Silhouette cut from a previous card as a stencil. Sponged with Versafine black ink. Dots and sentiment is from a Casual Friday stamp set called wallflower.
After stamping the dots, I added a touch of glossy accents to every dot. The gloss added almost give the look of an enamel dot, don't you think ? Something to remember for the future when I don't have the right size or color enamel dot to add!

Challenges:
Less is more ~ One layer flourish
Inkspirational challenges ~ Thank you with something new (sentiment stamp)
Simon says stamp ~ Something new (sentiment stamp)
Thanks for visiting me today!
Have a great week!

This is gorgeous ! Love the enamel dots :)
ReplyDeleteHi Hannelie ~ Love the elegant simplicity of your lovely card. The addition of Glossy Accents to the colorful dots was a perfect way to set them off (I thought they WERE enamel dots!!). Thanks for sharing!!

Beautiful card! Love the dot idea. I think I'll have to try that sometime.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Hannelie, what a gorgeous card, great idea to use the negative of this beautiful flourish as a stencil but, the idea of stamping the dots and adding Glossy Accents to make enamel dots is inspired. Now I know what to do to create my own.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing.
Hugs,
Maria Rodriguez.
Love the pretty pastel dots surrounding this flourish, Hannelie! Great design! Thanks for playing along with us this week at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful stenciling, Hannelie! And I thought they were real enamel dots! WOW!
