For this card, I’m combining the PPA challenge (a masculine KISS card) and the ColourQ challenge (using Poppy Parade, So Saffron, Bashful Blue, Basic Black, and Whisper White).
For the dots, I used the hostess set Apple Blossoms and colored the stamp with my Stampin’ Write Markers first. After stamping, I colored in the circles with the markers. The little jagged black border is from the Pinking Hearts Border punch, I just hid the hearts slightly so they don’t look like hearts. I also distressed the edges of the Whisper White card stock using my paper snips.
For the ribbon, I cut the ribbon the length of wrapping the ribbon all the way around the card. I concealed the ends of the ribbon behind the button, which I adhered using a couple of glue dots. Clever, huh? That way, you don’t see where the ends meet :).
