I was inspired by a card, "Easy Polka Dots" in the Creative Keepsakes Magazine, May 2007 edition (by Shiloh Wilstead. Of course I did my own thing, but I simply loved her design.

Paper: whisper white and green gable
Ink: green and black
Accessories: black ribbon (nsu), glue dots
Techniques: This is the Polka Dot technique I learned from Shiloh. She took a pencil with a new eraser. She dipped the eraser head into the ink and pressed it on to the cardstock. It leaves a perfect polka dot. I also used glue dots to secure the ribbon.
Your green with the white and black polka-dotted background is striking! Your ribbon bow looks great! I always have a hard time with that one- hence my knots instead. :0)

Thanks. The bows do sometimes pose a challenge. It takes a little practice. Sometimes I measure the length of ribbon I will be using. I make the bow (two bunny ears and loop through) then I glue dot the two loose ends to the card (cutting off any excess on either end. Thank you for the compliment.
