Caardvarks Polka Dot challenge

The current challenge over at Caardvarks is POLKA DOTS! I happen to be a big fan of polka dots, so I couldn't resist joining in.

The foundation of this card is very similar to the one I did last night for the Papertrey Ink blog hop. I already had the stamps and tools out (bad me, for not cleaning up immediately!) so it was easy to just re-create the bottom part of the card, only in different colors.

The fun flowers are more leftovers from past projects. I have this bowl that I keep on my desk and any time I have leftover punches or die cuts from a project, I throw them in there. It's been fun digging through the bowl and challenging myself to use the leftovers, instead of cutting into new sheets of paper or fabric - or opening new packages of embellishments.
