hi there,
Wow...it has been so long since I have had any time to play in a challenge. I have had a sinus/cough for nearly 3 wks, lost my mojo and had a new baby start into care. I really missed you all.
I loved the sketch today and the TLC challenge; polka dots.
First I stamped my rose twice and embossed with white. Cut one apart so I could pop dot for interest and coloured using Distress inks and a sponging tool. I did the same with the leaves by then (it is hard to see) I overstamped them with a funky polka dot design from this SU set. Next I added the washi tape and the scoring lines. Lastly the pearls.
Hope you like it and thanks so much for looking.

Glad to see you back, Karen. Glad you're feeling better and that your mojo has returned. Lovely card. Love how you treated the rose and leaves. Very soft and pretty against the snappy black/white tape.

This card ROCKS!!! I love everything about it. The popped rose is genius and I love all the repeating polka dots.This card just leaps out of the gallery..eye candy for sure.

I REALLY REALLY like it, Karen. I wish I could remember details like the overstamping on the leaves and the embossed edges of the flower. So well designed. Into my favs.
