Fiona Paltridge Designs: My First EVER 7 Dots Studio Design team Post #YAY

I can not believe I am on the 7 Dots Studio design team! When I first discovered the online world of design teams, challenge sites and blogs, I spent hours scrolling through pages and pages of inspiration. One of the blogs I found most inspirational was 7 Dots. I loved the paper designs and what the team did with them. I hunted and hunted in Australia to be able to purchase the paper (quite a feat at the time!) and immediately fell in love with every thing about 7 Dots.

This paper I have used for my first creation is my all time favourite from the Messy Head Collection. I'm not sure it's even still available. I know there a few pieces of this collection left in the store but not this piece in particular. It is my last piece of it and I had been saving it for a special occasion.

There is really not much to this layout at all. I really didn't want to detract from the beautiful paper. I simply added some inky splats and some old book page to compliment the design.

I did add a little bit of stamping and some stars using the Thoughts keeper clear stamps and Star Confetti Stencil from Um WOW Studio.

But in all honesty, I wanted to preserve the design on this beautiful paper.

Thank you for popping in. Later in the month I'll have another 7 Dots Studio creation for you and it will be accompanied by a process video!

Beautiful page, and I think you are true, this is a beuatiful page... It is still available in the Netherlands, so if you want one more? I love the splatters and stars you added...

Fantastic page. Are the big cardstock splatters from a die?
