Dotty or Spotty?

When does a dot become a spot? I have no idea but I do like polka dots so the challenge at Less is More this week is right up my street! We have to include them on our card and keep it a clean and simple design.

I've also been meaning to play along with the pretty inspiration photo board at Jay Gees Nook this month so here goes both challenges together...


I love the picture of the sofa on the inspiration board because the soft pastel cushions look amazing against the neutral material ..... needless to say it wouldn't stay that colour in our house!!
I've used a digi image, papers and sentiment on this card, the only stamp is the a.muse oval, I thought the chair looked cosy enough for a get well soon card :)

I'm also entering this into the 'Free for All' challenge at Wee Memories this week


So it's half term this week although Hannah has arranged a weeks work experience in London so I'm still up at the crack of dawn making packed lunches and surprisingly so was James this morning too!!! Typical I have to drag him out of bed school mornings but when he can lay in he's up and as bright as a button!......it's going to be a long day until the workers return home :)

Thanks for looking X

  1. Hi Jenny, Gorgeous card and a great sentiment, I think recieving this would make anyone feel much better, nice and relaxing. I hope today isn't too long for you, occuping the kids can be very tiring especially when they're pretty big, Gay x

  4. I love this...the chair off the edge, the sentiment curled around the chair, the shadow, all the polka dots...it is a perfect Get Well card. I'm not even sick and I would like to "take it easy" in your chair!

  7. That is a good question at the start of your post... Perhaps it is when there is a group of spots they become dots? Great card, I really think your off center focal point is a great design.

  23. Wonderful card Jenny. Your paper piecing is fabulous; it seems such an easy technique and adds so much but for some (me) is impossible to do. Well done.
