Polka dot fever hit when making this card! I started with stamping and punching the true friend stamp from the FREE Sale-a-bration Punch Bunch stamp set.
My colors, Melon Mambo, Pacific Point, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight, are all colors in the FREE Sale-a-bration Ice Cream Parlor Designer Series Paper. So bright and cheery.
First I stamped the true friend stamp from the Punch Bunch set with Melon Mambo Classic Ink and punched it out with 1" Circle Punch. I then cleaned the stamp and stamped it again with Pacific Point Classic Ink on Whisper White card stock. I then punched out just the center of the stamped image with the 1/2" Circle Punch. I layered it onto the Melon Mambo stamped and punched image with a Stampin' Dimensional. In a picture is hard to tell it makes a difference, but the extra little lift sure does in person.
How do you layer a circle, with more circles, of course. Once I got started, I just couldn't stop myself. We have so many circle punches, it was quick and easy. Here are my additional layers of circles:
1-1/4" Circle Punch in Old Olive card stock
1-3/8" Circle Punch in Daffodil Delight card stock
1-3/4" Circle Punch in striped Ice Cream Parlor Designer Series Paper
2-1/2" Circle Punch in Pacific Point card stock
Not knowing where to go from there, I only knew for some reason I wanted my Pacific Point 2-1/2" circle on a Pacific Point card stock base. What is a girl to do? Apparently, add more circles. My 1" circles consist of the four colors: Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight and Pacific Point. Once again, in the picture is hard to see, if not impossible, to see the 1" Pacific Point circles. It truly looks so cool in person.
