Gimme a Clue 7

[Lauren]

Well that was the quickest turnaround ever.............
Im ready to do it again

[honeymoon]

Here's a couple from me:

Just saw this bed linen on an email
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Paisley-Blues.jpg

and an older one
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/CP---Deco-Lady.jpg

Can you tell I want something in these colours!

[happybeingamom]

Here is one from me

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Swatch-outfit.jpg

[mrshuberism]

well I tried to copy and paste from the last thread but could not figure it out. I am new to the forums and threads thing outside of school anyway.

so there are 3 I really liked from the last one. One had blues and a pic of a turtle. One had yellows and yellows flowers in a vase. The third had a "path..." in the woods and browns and greens.

Over all I would love to be a part of a beach kit. I live in Florida so we go to the beach a lot. Plus my dad is a sailor so we are out in the Gulf frequently. So the blues and yellow all inspire me.

hope I get to log in more with this one... lol :lol:

This is a picture from art.com called The Pool by Tom Thompson.

[mcbowersox]

Ok. . . so my last two are a lot alike. I guess I'm feeling Rainbow Brite tonight! lol

[JenniferG]

Lauren, there's a swatch that you wanted to do of mine that didn't win the vote, but Tina is currently doing a kit based in it. Would you still like me to submit it now, or wait a few Clue's before submitting it again? It's this one:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6620/Sea_Foam_swatch.jpg

(I love what Tina's doing with it, and would love to see what you do with it...besides, they would coordinate! And I'd HAVE to buy it because I just love those colors together!)

[JenniferG]

I love this one, called Pomegranate Stain:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6620/Pomegranate_Stain_Swatch.jpg

And this one, which I've submitted before...but I figured you didn't choose it because of the plaid...but you don't have to do a plaid bg! LOL! (I should also let you know that Chris is creating a kit based on this, as well, since I won the Bag Lady. But I'd love to see what you come up with, as well. Like I said, you can never have too many coordinating kits!!! And I am partial to these colors as well!)

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6620/thumbs/Gimmie-Clue-swatch_1.jpg

[Corgi Lover]

Ooooooooo - some great choices to pick from! :)

[Lauren]

I wont do schemes that someone else is already creating a kit for so lets have a few more suggestions

[JenniferG]

Ok. Didn't think so, but thought I'd ask.

I love this one, called Pomegranate Stain:

Lauren, those of us in the frozen north need some cheering up. These oranges are a reminder that warmer weather is coming!

[MurlieMac]

I still would like an Irish themed kit so I'm resubmitting:

and another:

and another, Van Gough's Starry Sky
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/6727/color-swatch-4.jpg

[Raphne]

Here's one from me-- Gonna have to use Kathleen's template next time! And, it would keep me from picking out too many colors lol



http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/6885/thumbs/ColorChoices1.gif (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/showphoto.php?photo=303647&ppuser=124085)
Nanchang park (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/showphoto.php?photo=303647&ppuser=124085)

Or, now with her template:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/6885/thumbs/Swatch2.gif (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/showphoto.php?photo=303649&ppuser=124085)

And, I know this has been addressed several times before, but I'm a slow learner. Can someone please link me to the explanation of how to get the larger image into your post?

[mcbowersox]

No problem Raphne. We've all been there. . .

Go to your gallery and click on the swatch you want. When it comes up right click on it and go down to properties. In properties highlight and copy the URL (ctrl c).

Then while writing your post (go advanced) click on the 4th icon from the right (insert image). When you click on that paste (ctrl v) your URL in there.

That should do it! If it's coming out too big or too small that has to do with how big you are saving your swatch. But if you're using Kathleen's template you should be ok.

Hope that helps! If it doesn't let me know.

welllllllllll- hmm - nature - or a bright challenge - I like both of these two - hmm
quick poll - natural or bright - you choose - wont be a proper poll just put your preference here - and i reserve the right to make the final decision anyway but what would you like to see

[honeymoon]

Bright.... maybe it could be a Forgotten Birthdays page kit...LOL

[mrshuberism]

nature!!! nature nature please!!!

[MurlieMac]

I'm more of a nature kind of girl myself

[JenniferG]

Nature please!!! I'm not much for bright

[Corgi Lover]

Either one is great - LOVE them both! :)

[mcbowersox]

I'm feeling the bright, but I'd like either. . .

Let's do both simultaneously! LOL!

[janetklm]

I love the bright colors. The sun was shining bright today, so that's probably why I'm in a brighter mood lol.

[aditonno]

I love the bright...but I just home from a weekend in the deep woods of Maine and those colors would go PERFECTLY with my photos from the log cabin!

[Raphne]

Nature for me!

[Lauren]

LOL thats 4 all and one either !- so thats not much help is it - I THINKKKKKKKKKKKKK seeing we went with a very naturish colour scheme last time we should go with bright this time- I know I find the natural colours much easier to work wiht but theres nothing like a challenge!!!!!!!!!!!- sooooooo bright it is -
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6712/sushi-swatch.jpg

[happybeingamom]

How about a harlequin paper but with blending in it (I would use either the black, orange or red color)

[aditonno]

Those 4 bright colors would make a great stripe or plaid bg

[honeymoon]

Red bg with circles of orange and yellow.

Red bg with black edges... will go well with the Crusaders Rugby pictures I have ;)

Yellow bg with green stitched/embroidered leaves all over it.

[Kathleen]

Already 3 pages into this, and I am just catching up!

How about primarily the orange background, kind of roughed up, with circles of various sizes (some outline, some solid) of most/all the other colors.

[mcbowersox]

I think it might be fun to have a lot of the dark color with splashes of the brights.

[Lauren]

I had a Beautiful background just about done and photohsop crashed on me ........... grrrrrrrrrrrrrr- I was THINKING i should save it just when it died - doesnt that really make you soooooooooo mad...........

[mcbowersox]

I HATE that! I lost a LO last night cause PSE froze while I was saving! UGH!

I hope you're able to recreate it!

[newbienfr]

a splatter paint type background using all or most of the colors - looks like paint was just thrown onto the paper

a striped background with the stripes being kind of wavy instead of strait up-and-down

a paper that has different sized and colored squares or diamonds randomly placed (not like a chess board)

[Lauren]

Ok so i had harlequin on my original paper but lost the will to do it again after PS crashed - so its the harlequin idea with multicolours - but with spots instead of diamonds!!!!!!!!!- so yeah not really what anyone has asked for ...........
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/7_1.jpg

[mcbowersox]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that paper! It's perfect!

How about a matching stripe?

[pinky7]

Ok so i had harlequin on my original paper but lost the will to do it again after PS crashed - so its the harlequin idea with multicolours - but with spots instead of diamonds!!!!!!!!!- so yeah not really what anyone has asked for ...........
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/7_1.jpg

But just what I was thinking as I read through the posts, even complete with the dark background I was thinking of! Man, you mind reading skills are improving! I didn't even have to write it down this time!!

[happybeingamom]

The paper looks great I would have loved to see the harlequin though but crashes happen.

I would love to see a yellow fabric background perhaps with tone on tone color. A kit need a good solid and a light one makes a beautiful LO.

[Lauren]

Red bg with black edges... will go well with the Crusaders Rugby pictures I have ;)

.

Steve is taking Allen to the Blues Crusaders game the night of our crop!!!!!!!!

[Lauren]

Red bg with black edges... will go well with the Crusaders Rugby pictures I have ;)

.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/7_2.jpg

[Lauren]

btw the compressed sample of that red paper doesnt really convey the crackly texture that well........

[JenniferG]

how about a solid yellow background with scratches and grunge in black, kind of canvas like. I'm finding I love backgrounds with texture. They have such wonderful effects on my photos!!!

[JenniferG]

Maybe stripes, as well...

[sandygb]

LOL thats 4 all and one either !- so thats not much help is it - I THINKKKKKKKKKKKKK seeing we went with a very naturish colour scheme last time we should go with bright this time- I know I find the natural colours much easier to work wiht but theres nothing like a challenge!!!!!!!!!!!- sooooooo bright it is -
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6712/sushi-swatch.jpg

You did it again! This is the swatch that drew me in immediately. I usually go for the muted nature colors, but this bright one really caught my eye...

[sandygb]

I had a Beautiful background just about done and photohsop crashed on me ........... grrrrrrrrrrrrrr- I was THINKING i should save it just when it died - doesnt that really make you soooooooooo mad...........

I've been there! I try to name my work in the beginning so that it easy to continue hitting the "Save" button. Once it's named, I tend to save more often during the process.

[sandygb]

Love the 2 papers and I was thinking that mostly solid papers would be a great way of taming the color pallet. How about a tone on tone green, fading to yellow at the edge.

[honeymoon]

Steve is taking Allen to the Blues Crusaders game the night of our crop!!!!!!!!

That's cool. Actually I think the photos I have are the Blues Crusaders game from last year (when we bet them of course!).

Love the papers so far. I think it needs a yellow paper now with orange and red stripes with maybe some dots of black.

[dawn-in-nz]

My word that's certainly in your face, love it. How about the black background on the first paper without the spots? With what looks like paint splotches all over it.

[newbienfr]

Those papers look great!

Thought I would mention these again:
a splatter paint type background using all or most of the colors - looks like paint was just thrown onto the paper

a striped background with the stripes being kind of wavy instead of strait up-and-down

a paper that has different sized and colored squares or diamonds randomly placed (not like a chess board)

[janetklm]

A diagonal striped bg.?

[mcbowersox]

A diagonal striped bg.?

:yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

[Corgi Lover]

I would love a solid lime green with a ripped edge or stacked, creased, folded - whatever :) I agree I think the solids would be best with this color scheme or a very 'mild' print ;)

What about a solid paper with smears of the other colors faintly showing through?

[mariafer]

I love this color scheme. I think it will look great with some kits I already have! I love the papers also.

my ideas:

How about a mostly solid lime or yellow with circles made out of tiny dots, maybe have the pattern only in the edges and washed out in the center to a grunge. Or instead of dotted circles drawn circles (like the outline only in black) would be nice too.

I would also love a torn edge paper in one of the solids.

[mrshuberism]

can't seem to find it now to quote but there was a post about a paint splatter type background. I like that idea, like on a cream canvas have several splatters of various sizes but not cover the entire canvas. If it is muted enough I could use it with pictures of my girls standing at the easel covered in paint with white paper in front of them. It is super cute and no one looks at it with out laughing. so maybe paint splatters just at the corners/edges???

[aditonno]

This combination of bright colors makes me think of lollipops and birthday balloons. Not sure why...but maybe that's an idea for some elements!

[shawsi]

Black paper with white script writing all over it.

Or...newsprint only reversed so the black is the background.

A mosaic

[Lauren]

I love this color scheme. I think it will look great with some kits I already have! I love the papers also.

my ideas:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/7_3.jpg

[baflien]

Wow this looks so nice!

Ok what about brads or buttons?

[sandygb]

OMG...this is so HOT. I love it.

[sandygb]

Wow. I'm stumped. I think a subtle combination of orange as the primary color with a subtle pattern in the yellow....or maybe reversed. Or maybe just a grungy white painters canvas.

[newbienfr]

That green paper looks awesome!

[dawn-in-nz]

White with speckles of black just like inside the spots on the first paper.

[mcbowersox]

I'm still thinking a stripe, love the diagonal idea. . . or something mulit-colored.

[doda]

Lauren!! those papers are awesome!

[aditonno]

I think the last paper needs to be that yellow or orange as the primary color. Maybe a soft grunge look or a very subtle pattern.

Hmmm...Circles seems to be our theme for this kit. Someone else suggested circles made of dots, that might look neat with this kit!

[pinky7]

Wow. I'm stumped. I think a subtle combination of orange as the primary color with a subtle pattern in the yellow....or maybe reversed. Or maybe just a grungy white painters canvas.

I agree with sandy, all the way down to being stumped! I think we need to do something with the yellow and orange. Either an orange paper with yellow flowers scattered over it or a yellow tone on tone paper and (I know, I am jumping ahead) make and orange cutout out lacework flower!

http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff17/pinky076/lacework-flowers.jpg

[Kathleen]

How about the orange and yellow blurred together, kind of like a water color paper, very abstract, soft. Like you gave a child two very large and very wet brushes - one with yellow paint, one with orange paint.

[Lauren]

can't seem to find it now to quote but there was a post about a paint splatter type background. I like that idea, like on a cream canvas have several splatters of various sizes but not cover the entire canvas. If it is muted enough I could use it with pictures of my girls standing at the easel covered in paint with white paper in front of them. It is super cute and no one looks at it with out laughing. so maybe paint splatters just at the corners/edges???

well how about speckles rather than splatters.........
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/7_4.jpg

[mcbowersox]

Perfect, as always!

How about an orange ribbon or something to bring in more orange?

[sandygb]

That last paper looks just like granite tile. I love it!!!

How about a big paper flower that is darker (red) in the inner petals, then blending to orange as the main color, then fading to yellow on the edges of the petals.

[honeymoon]

Love the papers:

Green leafy vine. Emroidered... stamped...

A strip of ribbed fabric with buttons stitched along it.

Horizontal elastic bands around a grunged up white chipboard frame.

[Heidi]

I really love those papers!! Bright but toned down with some black - awesome!!

[newbienfr]

I love how that last paper turned out!!! This looks really great so far!

I like Sandy's idea for a flower. I think it would look great with this kit.

[newbienfr]

What about a shiny acrylic or plastic circular frame?

[pinky7]

ONE MORE TIME, I am going to try this. I am just dying to have somebody make a element like this ribbon! I know it is pink here, but you could make it orange with yellow stripes on it. (Although, I know more about making elements, thanks to your class, I guess I could make it myself!)
http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff17/pinky076/Ribbon.jpg

[pinky7]

Where is everybody? I didn't know we were taking the day off! I know where Lauren is! She's is probably working on posting bonuses, but where is everybody else?

[Lauren]

Horizontal elastic bands around a grunged up white chipboard frame.

Well thats actually 2 elements but here it is - the rubber bands are separate
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/7_6.jpg

[doda]

How about a paperclip with one of the circles on the end?

[sandygb]

Love that frame and rubber bands!

How about a grouping of 3 round chipboard discs, each one a different bright color.

[sandygb]

I just realized that I love seeing the color strip on the preview page. Could we have it done as a paint chip card? LOL.

[pinky7]

http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff17/pinky076/lacework-flowers.jpg

Even though you didn't make the paper, I would still like flowers like this. Actually, you could make the lacework similar to the Christmas tree that is in Emerald Frost so that the petal are fancier!

[shawsi]

Oooo - I love the rubber band. This is very industialized, or officey (Is that a word?) What about a round coaster? You know the ones that they put out in the bars and some steakhouses. Only, it could say something..like a word art...inspirational.

Maybe someone has some suggestions for what it could say.

[mcbowersox]

I love the rubber bands! And it's cool that they are separate, too!

[windstorm]

Streamers in multiple colors
a white chipboard circle journal element edged in the black

[honeymoon]

Frame and rubber bands... perfect.

Great idea Sandy for the paintchip card.

Ruler with centimetres on it.. or both inches and centimetres.

Piece of cardboard, hole punched at the edge with ribbons knotted onto it (if I keep asking eventually you'll make it.... ;) )

Piece of acrylic with crazy sitching framing it around the edges.

[newbienfr]

Cool frame.

what about some colorful binder clips or some brads

a woven ribbon in the orange and yellow

[stitchmich]

dot stickers, a colored paperclip, torn piece of notebook paper

[jemtred]

Sory been away for mid-term break and look what I come back to! Talk about bright. I really like those elastic bands and I agree with the post about it having an office feel. So how about some falling punched out circles - maybe punched from one of the BG papers. Or some bright pencil sharpenings?

[mcbowersox]

Love the binder clip idea! It's funny, cause i never would have thought of this as office-y.

[dinaben99]

how about some acrylic buttons in various colors, or paint splashes

[Kathleen]

Orange grosgrain ribbon, looped over itself a bit, maybe tacked down in a couple places with a few small tacks like these:

http://www.brettunsvillage.com/trunks/howto/parts/r0301694.jpg http://www.brettunsvillage.com/trunks/howto/parts/r0301693.jpg

[jemtred]

Kathleen those tacks look like they are in skin!! Its very eerie - I hope its leather...
I think by officey I mean chic young things and matching stationary?? Maybe studenty?

[Lauren]

Piece of cardboard, hole punched at the edge with ribbons knotted onto it (if I keep asking eventually you'll make it.... ;) )



http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/7_7.jpg

Is this kind of what you had in mind Fiona?????????

[mrshuberism]

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/7_7.jpg

Is this kind of what you had in mind Fiona?????????

love that!!!

Ok so I was riping up carpet for the weekend and my daughter wore clothes that match this kit the entire time...

There was a post about paint splatters love that idea. I also liked the ruler and other school or office supplies. And some one said something about falling hole punches that would be sooo cool especially if they are glittery, I like glitter a lot...

Seems this time around I am just repeating everyone else's ideas. I'll get the swing of it eventually and be a bit more original. but for now I am just enjoying participating and giving my 2 cents worth so there it is.

[newbienfr]

That paper with ribbons is SO COOL!!! I already have many ideas for this kit.

Bringing these forward again:
what about some colorful binder clips or some brads

a woven ribbon in the orange and yellow

[Kathleen]

The paper and ribbons is AWESOME!!

I'm kind of stumped ... maybe a group of three small tags, dangling on twine in different colors?

[Heidi]

Love that paper with the ribbons! Yeah - I think something a little shimmery, Maybe?

[pinky7]

The paper and ribbons is AWESOME!!

I'm kind of stumped ... maybe a group of three small tags, dangling on twine in different colors?

:rofl::rofl:There is a lot of "stumping" going on with this kit!:rofl::rofl:

I love the paper with the ribbons!!

I like something in a circle. A frame, a circle of brads, a ring with beads on it.....

[sandygb]

Here's a funky one...How about a ribbon flower. If you take tied ribbons like you have on the paper, and group them together to form a pom pom style flower that contains all the different colors of ribbons.

Or...maybe not a flower shape, but more like one of those gift package decorations that has curled ribbons trailed down....and held together at the top with a jewel.

[sueya]

I think a chain of paperclips in the different colours would look good
I'd also like to see some enamel brads or photocorners

[honeymoon]

Paper with ribbons.... FABTASTIC!!!!!!!

How about a tag with a paper clip to attach it with. Could be hung of the rubberbands or the ribbons or the holes in the paper.

[dawn-in-nz]

I love Sandy's idea of a paint card like the strip of colours.

How about some word art like 'Colour/Color My World' or something with the word Colour/Color in it?

Or a barcode on a tag that says 100% Pure Colour or replace the word colour with something else appropriate.

[honeymoon]

What about a length of cord (the woven type - like on school hats), all jumbled up.

Going back to the office stationery idea:

A clear file pocket with the white band on the side with the holes for in the folder. Could be used to hold a photo or journalling. Might fit better in an AOP for this kit??

Strips of spiral binding - but like you are looking at a pile of spiral bound reports and they are all twisted in different directions (can you tell I'm at work at the moment ...LOL)

[shawsi]

How about push pins in the colors of our palette.

A yellow number two pencil.

I was recently given a "Phone charm" from my DSIL, I has a cord loop with a few colored beads, a black braided chord (delicate) some chain, more beads and then a tiny silver bee at the end. Darling. Something like that might be cute...maybe not with a bee.

[JenniferG]

Awesome Lauren! I love that notepaper! How cool is that?! I think I'd like to echo the paint chip idea...

[baflien]

What about a postage stamp or a rubberstamp ( the picture or the stamp itself)
envelope or thumbtucks?

[Lauren]

I just realized that I love seeing the color strip on the preview page. Could we have it done as a paint chip card? LOL.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/7_8.jpg

[JenniferG]

Yay! Love that paint chip Lauren!

It's really late here so I'm off to bed... almost 1:30am! Yikes!

[sandygb]

I LOVE the paint chip card!!! Thank you!!

[dinaben99]

love the paint chip sampler!, Now that we have that I think we need some paint splats

[moog25]

I love the circles on the first background. I'd love to see some circles hung on the ribbons (Rubberbands?) wrapping the frame. Just a small cluster of varying lengths.

[mrshuberism]

love the paint chip sampler!, Now that we have that I think we need some paint splats

once again 2nding another's idea but I like the paint splats!!!

[Lauren]

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/7_9.jpg

[mcbowersox]

I am LOVING all of this! So cool!

[windstorm]

This kit is starting to remind me of a craft project.

Could we have a paintbrush, possibly leaving a trail of paint to go with the kit.

[mrshuberism]

ooohhhhh aaaahhhhh so pretty, love the dangles....

[mcbowersox]

Maybe a "flower" of sorts made out of ribbon curls that are on the paper?

[pinky7]

Maybe a "flower" of sorts made out of ribbon curls that are on the paper?
I was just going to write this!! Sandy mention it before, and I think it would be so cool!

[dinaben99]

http://cdn.dickblick.com/items/030/28/03028-1985-1ww-s.jpg (http://www.dickblick.com/products/blick-clear-acrylic-palette/)
Maybe we could add something like this

[Lauren]

Here's a funky one...How about a ribbon flower. If you take tied ribbons like you have on the paper, and group them together to form a pom pom style flower that contains all the different colors of ribbons.

Or...maybe not a flower shape, but more like one of those gift package decorations that has curled ribbons trailed down....and held together at the top with a jewel.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/7_10.jpg

[sandygb]

OMG....I just KNEW a ribbon flower would be perfect with this kit....and it IS!!!!! I love it!!!!

[pinky7]

That looks great! Now, how many more elements do we need now? I think 2 more!

[Lauren]

2 more to go

[sandygb]

How about 3 strips of ric-rac in 3 of the 4 colors. Each strip a slightly different length, and placed together slightly crossed or unevenly, then stitched together so it can be used as a groupie base, or a mat under a photo or the frame.

[sueya]

I like that flower. Would be good to see some separate buttons or a paper clip.

[pinky7]

How about a paper clip with a ribbon through it? Or is that too much ribbon?

[stitchmich]

That ribbon flower is awesome!
I like sandy's ric rac "groupie" idea. How about a splash or scattering of something like glitter or confetti or paint.

[mcbowersox]

Love the ric rac idea! Sandy, you have the best ideas!

[voniku]

Ohhh... This is SHARP! Very funky.

How about a splash or scattering of something like glitter or confetti or paint.

I like the spilled glitter idea!!! :)

[mrshuberism]

Ohhh... This is SHARP! Very funky.



I like the spilled glitter idea!!! :)

I 2nd/3rd? this/these ideas. anything with glitter I am all for. maybe a spilled can of paint in a gilttery version of one of the colors or a pearl version.

[pinky7]

Ohhh... This is SHARP! Very funky.



I like the spilled glitter idea!!! :)

So do I!

[Lauren]

T How about a splash or scattering of something like glitter or confetti or paint.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/7_11.jpg

[JenniferG]

Lauren this is awesome! I don't have any pictures for this...yet. But I will get some somehow! I must have this kit!

I know you don't normally do overlays in your kits, but maybe you could this time? How about a paint stroked overlay, to look like we've painted our backgrounds or photos? Or it could be a stamp or two, if you don't want an overlay. I was thinking a paintbrush woudl be cool, but you have said before that you don't do 3d like that.

Way cool!

dot stickers would be fun

I always love any kind of flourish. Maybe a funky shaped one.
