Flourishes FTTC239 - "Build It With Dots"

Happy Tuesday everyone!

This is my last week as a guest designer for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenges!  I've loved being a part of this talented group of ladies and appreciate the warm welcome they've given me!  Thank you so much ladies!

Now, on to the challenge this week which is hosted by Ally!

FTTC239 "Build it with Dots" - Create a card using dots to color your back ground &/or image.   EXAMPLE: here  Notice how the the ground is made of dots?    EXAMPLE: here  See how the leafy tree is coloured?

For my card I used the Cherry Blossoms Set.  This set has so many beautiful images that I had trouble deciding which one I wanted to use!  I finally picked this beauty which I stamped on Solar White Cardstock with Onyx Black Ink and colored with pencils.

For the challenge, I added shadows outside the image using dots!  Here's a close up so you can see it better.

The dot method doesn't work too well with pencils and I only have a handful of Copics, so why not Tombow Markers!  It worked pretty good I think.

After all my coloring was done, I trimed the image down to fit in a teal Timeless Rectangles die cut.  I then layered it with a peach (Tattered Rose) Decorative Labels 8 die cut backed with teal.  I finished this off with peach seam binding wraped around the mat, a bow with a button and floss and placed in all on a white embossed card base.  I really love the color combination of teal and peach, so pretty!

Be sure to visit all the talented designers to see their beautiful creations for the challenge this week!  Hope to see you join in the FTTC239 "Build It With Dots" Challenge this week!
