*Scrap 'n Stamp Polka-Hop*

It's the first Friday of the month which means it's time for another Blog Hop with the Design Team at Scrap 'n Stamp Canada.  For April, we are playing with all things Polka Dots!!!  Be sure to HOP along with the rest of the Design Team and leave a comment on each blog for your chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate from Scrap 'n Stamp Canada!

I love polka dots and I had a few different things in my stash that I could choose from... but I landed on this great stencil from Paper Rose and had some fun with ink blending and Nuvo Glimmer Paste.  

I started out by using Purple Tape to adhere my stencil to my card front and then stencilled three colours of Distress Ink over the stencil.  I made sure to overlap my colours to get the full rainbow on my card.  I wiped off the excess ink with a tissue before I did a layer of the Nuvo Glimmer Paste over the top of the stencil.  I set the panel aside to dry while I cut three "hello" words out of black cardstock and layered them together with glue (glue is good because you have a little time to "play" before it sets up).  Once the panel was dry (about 15 minutes), I cut it down to 4" X 5.25" and adhered it to the front of a coloured top folding card.
