Stampin' In Alaska

Good morning! Bugaboo hosts a tutorial on the Catch The Bug Challenge blog on the last Wednesday of the month. This month I get to share an easy project with you! Do It Yourself Enamel Dots I really like the look of the enamel dots that have been so popular recently.

Good morning and welcome to a new Stella Says Sketch challenge ! It's no secret.... I LOVE a good sketch. If I have a sketch, the entire project  is much easier for me. Here's what I came up with using this week's sketch and Bugaboo's " JJ Tequila and Shoes - Birthday " The digital image was printed onto Stampin' Up!  Whisper White cardstock and colored with Copic Markers.  Papers are from Basic Grey and Stampin' Up!  The candy dots were home made by melting perler beads in the oven for about an hour. I'm submitting my card for the following challenges: Simon Says Wednesday:  Anything Goes DigiDesigns:  Birthday Jo's Scrap Shack:  FFC #48 Anything Goes Don't forget to check out the Design Team inspiration.
