I got to use some new dies I just got from MFT..the dome and frame and the long sentiment one and its frame. The floral image is gold embossed and then painted with watercolors. I added flowers and embossed the bg..that's about it.
Come join us for this week's Teaparty and make someone's day!

So, "that's about it!" Well, "it" is striking with the gorgeous bright colors and beautifully watercolored flowers in the fantastic dome! Great design too, Polly! Love the card!

I always like that image, makes me think of embroidery. It's so like some of the old crewel designs. The new dies look great, that window-type frame will be very useful. Cute happy-making flowers, too.

You sure put your new dies to terrific use today Polly! Your card is beautifully designed and so bright and cheerful and put a smile on my face immediately. There is real "power" in a card like this Polly to turn a recipient's day around and make them smile too. ~Karen.

Ooh I love your new Dies, Polly! This card is so pretty with the colouring, flowers and embossing. I must read the challenge instructions more carefully - I missed the embossed part!!

That gold embossing technique is so cool, Polly. It really makes the flowers stand out. Very pretty colors in this. I think this Connections idea may be something we may want to repeat in the future--I think it was a good partnership.
