Inkspirational... polka dots!

Polka, polka, polka... polka-dots!  (Sorry, from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse... my daughter used to watch it and that was a song that stuck with me!  In case you want to sing it, too, sing it in Goofy's voice!)

I am behind on cards... here are a few fun ones:




Supplies and notes:
  • Vintage Bingo cards coated roughly with white Liquitex gesso 
  • Stampendous flowers inked with Ranger Archival in Jet Black, then heat-embossed with clear EP by Custer's Last Stamp
  • I used Distress Crayons for the flowers and leaves.  The first card is colored with Festive Berries and Rusty Hinge then blended with a paintbrush; leaves are Peeled Paint.  The second card is colored with  Picked Rasperries and Dried Marigold; leaves are Cracked Pistachio.  
  • The polka dots were created using a Heidi Swapp stencil and black Liquitex gesso on some blending foam.
  • The first card was edged with Wild Honey, the second with Broken China Distress Ink.
  • The first card's sentiment dipped into Black Soot Distress Ink, the second Picked Raspberry.
  • Core'dinations black paper as the base.  
I'd like to share this (these) at Inkspiration's current challenge:

    This is a beautiful and different way to incorporate spots! They're so feminine and delicate and I love the effect of the black panels. They're very pretty.

    Wow.. these cards are stunning! That flower stamp is perfect for this design. I love your use of the stencil and gesso. I have been trying to use more pastes and gessos and your card is very inspiring! Thanks for sharing with us at Inkspirational!
