I'm Seeing Spots! A Challenge from Scrappy Frog

It's time again for a monthly challenge from Scrappy Frog! This month's theme is "Seeing Spots", so it's super easy to play along. Here's my inspiration for you:

Sorry for the poor colors in this photo; the weather has not been cooperating here lately! (Which I have just remedied by buying one of those little photo studios - yay!) I started with a 5"x7" kraft card base and my Cricut, and the rest of the products this time are all from Close to My Heart. I used the following:

Typeset paper pack
Stitched Together stamp set, C1459
Vintage Type stamp set, D1481
Ink Pads in Cocoa, Twilight, and Vineyard Berry
Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge (you can use any cartridge with a circle on it!)

This was easy peasy - I just cut several circles at 1.25" from random scraps of paper. I stamped the circle stitching in Cocoa, then adhered them to the card front. Next, I stamped over the rows of circles with one of the stitched line stamps, also in Cocoa. I used the alpha border stamp from Vintage Type and stamped along the edge of the card in Twilight. Finally, I used the alpha stamps from Vintage Type to create the sentiment "You Rock" and stamped it in Vineyard Berry. Now I have a perfect card for one of my kids for the upcoming ISAT testing here in Illinois - just a little encouragement to get them through!

Don't forget to head on over to Scrappy Frog's Challenge Blog and link up your spotty project!

Before I go today, I wanted to share a sweet deal on that Art Philosophy Cricut collection.
