Lawnscaping Polka-Dots, Totally Hues #7 and CAS-ual Fridays Bling!

Hooray!!

Not only was I able to complete another Lawnscaping challenge entry to include Lawn Fawn stamps (first one here), I ticked off 2 other challenges that I adore!

The Lawnscaping challenge calls for polka-dots...

 ...the Totally Hues #7 colors are Sweet Blush, Berry Sorbet, Lemon Tart and Spring Moss (delish!)...

 ...and CAS-ual Fridays invites us to Bring the Bling!

Here is what I finally came up with:

I colored the dress-form too darkly... I had intended a very pale pink. Not a big deal but now the paper-piecing isn't as distinctive. Anyway, I love this cute little card! I used a Copic to match my rhinestones with the Berry Sorbet. I masked off the frame and dress-form to stamp the green dots.

I didn't care for my first attempt:

The gray on the first card wasn't really ideal considering the Totally Hues colors. I also found the green background polka-dots to be too busy. My yellow polka-dots on the Polaroid frame didn't stamp well (I have issues with my Lemon Tart ink) and drive me nuts. ;)
