Here's a color combo from Create with Connie & Mary that sings Halloween to me however, I chose to use the colors for an unconventional baby card!
Do you think I have enough "dots" on this card? I absolutely had to buy this stamp set, just loved the way the baby "ellie" is hanging on to his momma and the itty-bitty heart at the end of momma's trunk, so cute!
Here's my card using the three challenge colors for both inks and paper.
I stamped the razzelberry cs with the same ink using polka-dots for the background and also to coordinate with the pumpkin pie dotted frame which I used the ticket corner punch on the top corners. I stamped the "ellie's" in razzelberry ink, then cut out two little circles from the pattern paper, cut off approx. 1/3" of the circle to represent their ears, glued only the end to allow the ears to flap!
I didn't have a circle punch smaller than the 1/2", which I needed for the baby "ellie" ear, so I used the eyes from the Owl Builder stamp which I thought was the perfect size, and it was!
I colored three white pearls using the razzelberry marker pen and added to the top of the framed piece as I thought it looked to plain (can you image..with all those dots...too plain)!
I chose to use the reverse side of the razzelberry polka-dot ribbon to calm down the dots a bit, taped it to the frame and separately hand tied a knot, since I never seem to be able to combine both with one piece of ribbon.
Hope you enjoy looking at my card as much as I enjoyed creating it, thanks for lookin'!

Nancy this is ADORABLE! LOVE those colors but wow... how different for a baby card. The 'ellies' are tooo toooo cute. My favorite part is the ears.....how clever you are. Now polka dots are my fav too, so you can't NOT have too many polka dots for me!Love 'em.
I didn't know you could color the pearls! OH be still my heart... I knew you could color the rhinestones, but now you've opened up a WHOLE NEW field of 'playing'... let's match this/that! Hugs.
CONGRATS on your win at Inkspirations! YOU are amazing! Hugs.
