Polka dot love

One of my go to design elements is polka dots.  To me, they add freshness to any design.  Big or little, a few or a lot, polka dots make me smile.
My card was inspired from here at the CASE challenge from Heart 2 Heart.  I initially chose this card because of the tonal quality and all the lovely layers.  My card is much thinner but, I kept the tonal and some of the layers.  My other inspiration was from the The Shabby Tea Room, using polka dots, something I dearly love to do.  I used the same shade of green ink on the whole card, stamping, distressing and playing with the Close to my heart mini misters (the felt flower and the pear). I could stay at my worktable all day but, I have to go get ready for school.  So I hope you have a "pearfect" day and I'll talk to you again soon.

    "Pearfect" says it all! I love the subtleness of your colors and how you have two different sets of polka dots on different layers. Thanks for CASE-ing us at H2H!

    This is a beautiful card! I should use tonal coloring more often - it looks so calm and elegant! Nice work!

    I love every detail of your card! You've inspired me to look for polka dots in life and use them in my own paper art. :)
