I saw a lot of shaped cards by the design team and in the gallery but when I make something other than an A2 card I usually do what I call a Monarch card. I call it that because that's what the paper company calls their 7 1/2 by 3 7/8 envelopes. I don't think I've made many cards this shape since I bought the envelopes over 3 years ago.
I cut my paper 7 inches square and fold it in half. The "smile" is from PTI's Splat and then I used stamps from their Beautiful Brushstrokes addition for the other circles, using HA soft cantaloupe, lemon chiffon and soft brown. While this seems like an easy one layer card, there were a few mishaps. Some unwanted ink got on the card in a couple of places so I added the smaller dots and then wasn't sure I liked them. Sequins to the rescue. I just happened to have some that were the perfect color that came as a little gift with an order.
I'm glad you stopped by. It's always nice to have visitors, especially when they leave comments. It makes my day to read them.

Hi there! I could have sworn I've been to this site before
but after browsing through some of the post I realized it's new to me.
Nonetheless, I'm definitely happy I found it and I'll be

Oh, this is so fun! I love it!
LOVE this!! Simple(?) one-layer cards are often the hardest, aren't they? I love your colors and your arrangement of the dots - the sequins are a great final touch.
