I took advantage of the recent DSP promotion and ordered the Flowerpot DSP. This was not one of those had to have DSP packs however with the promotion I decided to give it a whirl and I am thrilled I did. While the floral designs might not be my first choice I love the small designs on the other side of many of the papers. This card was created around one of the Flowerpot DSP papers. The colors are Lost Lagoon and Night of Navy and I love the small polka dots.
The card was created for the latest Fab Friday Sketch Challenge. Here is the sketch:
I wanted to go outside the box and chose another shape for my card. The colors led me to use Stars as my theme and the sentiment from Pictogram Punches was the perfect choice. The sentiment was embossed in Iridescent Ice to give the sentiment some glimmer.
Using fellow pal Brian King's patented squint methodology for balance on my card (now I owe him a nickel) I decided to add the three Candy Dots. If you are not familiar with this technique and you want to put a smile on your face then watch Brian's video by clicking here. The problem was I did not have any more Night of Navy Candy Dots. Have no fear! I had white candy dots and simply colored them with my new Night of Navy Blendablities pen.
I love how this card turned out. I am always looking for masculine cards and I believe this fits the bill even with the bit of glimmer in the sentiment. What do you think?
Thanks for stopping by today!

The muted colors work wonderfully with the pop of sparkle on your sentiment panel. Well done using the stars for the sketch! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
