High Hopes Challenge #31!! Can Ya Doodle???

9:43 AM

Happy Sunday morning, stampers!!! Ooooooo, I got to sleep in this morning and it was niiiiiice! So I'm a little late posting...sorry!

Today's challenge over at the High Hopes Blog is brought to us by one of our lovely Guest Designers, Karen!! She would like to find out...Can Ya Doodle?? Now this can be doodling a frame on your main layer, it can be designing your own background paper with doodles, it's really any extra pen work you do on your card. Well, I haven't doodled in quite a while, so I decided to pull out my black glaze pen and frame a lot of my layers with black dots!!

I stamped Ladybug Stroll from the latest release on Wausau bright white cardstock and coloured them in using my Copic markers. The paper I used on the card and for colour inspiration is from Stampin' Up. The card base is a 12x12 Basic Black square with Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery and Real Red for matting. I used my Curved Rectangles Nesties on the main layers to cut them out and emboss them. I also used the Swiss Dots embossing folder on the middle strip.

I got this fabulous layout from the Truly Scrumptious Challenge for this week and the twist was to 'Go Dotty', so I think these ladybugs and dots count!!! Haha! I added some black gingham across the middle, used some punches to make the sentiment layer, pop dotted everything and finished it off with a little bling!!

Now head on over to the High Hopes Blog to feast your eyes on some more doodly goodness and join in the challenge to win some rubber!!!

Happy long weekend to all my Canadian friends!!!
