Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Real Red, Soft Sky, and Blue Bayou. WOW!
The background is NOT designer paper! It was made by stamping Polka Dot in Blue Bayou onto Soft Sky. Then, I drew circles around the dots in Basic Black marker.
The Elmor the Elephant was stamped three times in Basic Black. (Stamped once on the Whisper White and then punched with the Mega Punch. Stamped once on a scrap of the Polka Dot and cut out and layered onto the Whisper White Elmor. The third was stamped onto Blue Bayou, and the ear was cut out and layered. I added Signo Pen dots and drew Basic Black circles around the dots.)
I outlined the Signo dots along the layer edges, too.
The Real Red circle was made with the Coluzzle and the Blue Bayou was punched with the Giga Scalloped Circle Punch.

A good name for you would be the Queen of Dearts. (Dots!)
You are so well-known for your detailing which includes drawing (or poking?)flawless dots on your many layers of cardstock. Waddya think? You like the name? ;-)
I LOVE the colors in this card and the way you used them.
Beautiful job with the challenge!
