By The Tide

Hello Crafty Friends!

Another card for the Mod Squad Blog, Going Gingham Challenge.   The colors are a little unusual for these stamps I think, but I still like the outcome.

 
I used the By The Tide stamps from Stampin' Up!  Added a bit of red gingham ribbon on a black and white polka dot background, kind of fun looking.  The enamel dots are of my own 'baking'.  Judy Woodland shared a video she found on how to make them.  Hers came out awesome, mine not so much.   Apparently the trick is to use a glass pan, I used a cookie sheet.  I may try again at some point.  Here is the VIDEO.  If you make them  make sure you open a window, I noticed a small odor when baking them.

That's it for today!  Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks so much for popping in!

Enjoy~~

  6. This is just radiant and the layout is sublime. ( tired of the usual words) I really like this card! I made Judy Dots and I used a cookie sheet too, but I also used parchment paper. That worked.
