A Totally Different Love



Yesterday's love was retro 70s; today's is, well, I don't know what to call it. Colorful? Dotty? Weird? I'm just not sure about this one (which is, I swear, the last 2x2 grid I'll throw at you for at least a month, cross my heart).

The large dot stamp is from Hero Arts, one part of a quatro set that I don't think I've ever used before. The same set has a wonderful small dot square that is fab and very, very useful, but the larger dots make me purse my lips. Not sure why. The letters are stickers to get max coverage over the teal ink especially. I wish I had a cleaner, crisper font to use here, as these letters don't quite fit the crispness of the dots.

I am NOT going sticker shopping. Just say, "NO," Susan. Just say, "No." Be strong.

Tomorrow's cards will go in a different direction...still squares, oddly enough, but totally different feel from these more mod designs. Intrigued? Hope so!

  5. Nice work. Can't wait to see what Mondays card will bring.
    Your head is so full of great ideas, I am always amazed at how 'little' you can put on a card and have it just pop right out at you.

  8. I personally like the large dots for the backgrounds of your squares. I think they have a lot of interest - especially in the colors you chose. I do agree that bolder letters might have given a more graphic look, but I truly think these look just great. I like it!

  9. I love it just the way it is, but can't figure how you achieve such perfection. I'm still working on the first 2X2 you did, trying to get the spacing perfect. Do you spend alot of time with a ruler, or is your eye taking you to exactly the right spot to place each square? It looks sooooooo easy, but it's not!
