Catch you when you've got the time

I’m going to sneak in another Papertrey WCMD challenge card before the deadline at 7am tomorrow.

Inspired by the signature traits of Australian Aborigines, our project either had to incorporate dotted outlines or masking. I love masking, but not this time…I chose to do dotted outlines and created my own image in Illustrator based on this art. Cool, eh? It reminded me of wheels and time, so I added the sentiment “Catch you when you’ve got the time” on a curve. I used my white gel pen to make dots around the circles after printing the black image on SU cardstock (Looking closely at my photo, I see I have some more dots to fill in and clean up—oops). All other cardstock—rustic cream, kraft and black—are PTI. To add texture I embossed the cream panel and a scrap of black before punching out the circles for the eyelets and rustic thread. I thought the wavy border added another dotted element.
~Thanks for looking…

Please leave me a comment. If you want me to post my 'dotted connected circles' image as a freebie let me know...
