A quick little card to maybe cheer up someone. The image and sentiment are freebies from The Alley Way Stamps where you can find more - and another one just recently added. Those little enamel orange dots were made by none other than ME! I'd been wanting to buy some but kept putting it off and then saw a video the other day (can't remember who had it) and they made their own dots using something called a Paper Pen. I ordered a couple of bottles - and yep, I can do those!! I like making my own since I can make whatever size I want. I used some Frantage around the fish and his eye was covered in something called Glitter Glaze (similar to Stickles). Lots of dots on here - but then I may be just a little "dotty" myself at times!
I'll enter this in the challenges at The Alley Ways Stamps (inspiration photo), and Simon Says Stamps (dotty).
Thanks for stopping by...........

Summer, winter, makes no difference. It's all about the mood of the day, I say. I like your sunny, cheery card, especially now that we are having damp, dull days this week. that little fish is fabulous and would would really good for kids card. I'm going to head over to The Alley Way Stamps site now. thanks for the link. I'm loving that dot work of yours. I'll have to get into that also. You are getting my engine revved up this morning, girlfriend. Gotta run- filling in at work today.

Ahh, so cute Lynn! Love the layout and design and I love, love all the dots!
ReplyDeleteToo cute! Love the colors and the Frantage around the fish really makes him stand out.
ReplyDeleteHello Sunshine,
ReplyDeleteThis dotty card is lovely. I struggle to make cards with fish images and I think you have done a marvellous job with all the dots. Those orange enamel dots are cool. And the stuff around the fish looks cool. Super sentiment too.
Love,

What a fabulous background for this adorable little fishy!! Awesome work, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteThe summery look on your card gives a very fresh appeal. Love the blue polka and white embossed polka dot combination :)
ReplyDeleteI love your dots! And that fish is so cute swimming in all the dots! A card sure to make someone feel better!
ReplyDeleteAwwwww...just too cute. Wish summer weather was here today, but it is in the 70's and will be back to 80's in a few days. I LOVE summer and hot temps. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour card is just the cutest and I love that you made your own dots...very creative and they look very good.
Lynn, this is such a fun card! Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know; as soon as I saw this card I thought of all my Government employee friends that are laid off from their jobs (we live 30 miles outside of DC) I thought this card had the same sort of sentiment as "hang in there".
ReplyDeleteVery cute card!
Hugs,

Cute cute cute! You are rockin' the frontage! I saw a post awhile back where a lady bought packs upon packs of the dots in black and then colored them all with sharpie pens to suit her color needs - ingenious!
ReplyDeleteThis is just dot-teriffic! That is one of my very favorite sentiments. Fishes are for all seasons, Lynn. It's just perfect.
ReplyDeleteFabulous fun and sunny card-just what we needed :)
ReplyDeleteLove that fish!
Perfect take on the inspiration piccy :)
