Lots of Dots!

Do you like dots? Who doesn't?? I was in a "dotty" mood this afternoon when I made this criss cross card. (Find the tutorial here.)

 

I had not tried one of these cards before and it was pretty easy and nice to have something a little different. I used Rich Razzleberry as my base and the Cottage Wall Designer Series Papers to decorate. My insert is Orchird Opulence and Whisper White Cardstock. The image and sentiment are from the awesome Hostess Set The More the Merrier.

 

I used Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon and Old Olive Buttons from the Playground Designer Buttons. (Hint: Mini Glue Dots are a must have for attaching embellishments such as buttons to your creations.)

 

Overall I think the card came together quite nicely! What do you think? Do you ever yearn to step outside the box with your cards?
