Anyway....today's High Hopes challenge is Lots & Lots of Polka Dots!!! Oh, how I *heart* polka dots!! I could have done way more.....but I really love this paper & didn't want to cover it up too much, or over embellish to take away from the gorgeousness of the dots!!
I used Bedelia Butterfly for my card, which also happens to be part of this month's POTM stamp set.....check out the entire set HERE. I colored her with Prismas & gamsol, & COATED her wings with Dazzling Diamonds glitter. I don't know what it is about wings....when I see them, I must glitterize them!! I sponged the background with Colorbox Alabaster chalk ink, because the white card stock was too stark against the creamy colored paper. I used SU's Basic Gray for the base, Old Olive for the matte & the dotted paper is My Mind's Eye. I did some stitching.....added some tulle in the corners.....& of course she had to be watering something so I spritzed some Primas & leaves with Glimmer Mist & popped them under her watering can. I tried to get a pic of the shimmery flowers....to no avail....a photographer I am not!!!
Here's a close up of Bedelia....isn't she sweet?? The POTM set is really a great deal, so go check it out if you haven't already!! You can also see some great sample cards on the same page!
Here's the inside, all done up real pretty, lol. Same papers, same flowers, & lots of stitching. I added the Sprinkled With Love sentiment, which is also part of the POTM set!
Be sure to check out the High Hopes blog so you can see all the other fantastic dotty creations!!
Thanks for visiting!! I hope you have a great Sunday, & hopefully I'll get that coveted High Hopes package this week so I can post my blog candy!! Can't wait!!!

Michelle this card is stunning! I love how you positioned the watering can to pour water over your embellishments! Great touch!
Your colouring is oh my goodness..fantastic to say the least! I am glad that you had a nice 4th of July. My furball does not like the noise either. So he becomes quite the cuddler! Love it!
