Seeing spots

The challenge this week on the Simon Says Stamp & Blog is to show some polka dots.  Boy, the design team were really seeing spots!  I knew right away I wanted to use Wendy's tulip (Art From The Heart) and put it into play on shrink plastic.  I colored it with several distress inks in the red and green families.  I left the one leaf curled since the stem was already stressed to the breaking point.  It adds extra dimension.

Next I stamped Tim's rabbit (Spring Sprung) and masked it on an ATC.  I overstamped the weeds in Olive Archival then rubbed green and blue distress inks at the bottom and top (grass and sky).  I removed the mask and added the black & white polka dotted ribbon and made a charm, suspending it with Tim's tiny pin.  The ATC was layered onto black, dotted paper, more black, then solid cardstock. 

A few Easter eggs at the bottom got distressed in the shadow area.  It's a gray day here with snow falling periodically.  Maybe this will brighten things up a bit in my art room.
