Hanna Stamps - Friday Challenge

I made this card for Sandra's challenge (HSC65) in the Hanna Stamps forum today on SCS. Her challenge:

Since its April I thought we’d have a challenge with a play on the old saying ‘April Showers Bring May Flowers’! Create a card or project using polka dots (the ‘rain’) and flowers. Who doesn’t love polka dots!?! You can use prima flowers or flower designer paper or even a flower card using polka dot paper! Just use them both!

Polka dots and flowers happen to be two of my favorite stamping things. I love how polka dots can work with both masculine and feminine cards as well as cards for children, it all just depends on size, shape, etc. I know Valentines Day is past . . . but this card is a Valentine . . . apparently I am feeling loving right now. *blushes* Layout for this card came from the CARD POSITIONING SYSTEMS blog. Hope you are having a wonderful day! I will try and get back on here a little later to show you the card I made for my color challenge I issued yesterday. Until then . . .

Stamps: Paper Dolls Hanna (Hanna Stamps), Handwritten Notes (Papertrey Ink) Paper: Regal Rose (SU!), Bon Bon Swiss Dot (Doodlebug Inc.), Bittersweet - Vanilla Fudge (Basic Grey), Very vanilla (SU!) Ink: Onyx Black Versafine Accessories: Sweet & Sassy Cinderella Paper Flowers (Prima Marketing Inc), Pearl rhinestone stickers (Michaels Stores Inc.), Sewing machine (Singer), brown thread (Sulky), clear embossing powder (SU!), copic ciao markers (Imagination International Inc.)

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing
