and we really must appreciate it for being the gift it is. This card is a little 'anytime' card for my daughter who love quotations as much as I do. As you know she also loves pink so of course the pink polka dots had to sneak in on the act too.
I used the Bow Frame cuttlebug embossing folder, that has been lurking unused in my storage box for some time, as a basis to build the rest of the design on.
I wanted the embossed present to have more oomph about it so I cut a pink polka dot square out and then added black pearls to the polka dot pattern to give extra dimension.
The quote is by Clarity stamps, but it is one bought in a job lot on ebay and I think the letter 's' in the 'is the' part is slightly faulty as no matter how hard I tried it would not stamp perfectly. That will teach me to get things cheap!!
Challenges:
- Cute Card Thursday - Quotations
- Stamp with fun - polka dot
- Creative Card Crew - black with one other colour (some of the DT samples have also got white in their creations so maybe my card will count)
Materials:
- Quotation stamp by Clarity Stamps
- Bow Frame Cuttlebug embossing folder
- Card, ribbon and gems from stash

I really like this card Ann. I've had this folder forever and never managed to make a card with it. Thanks for the inspiration, I must try something similar if you don't mind. I've always loved dots!

Wow beautiful card - that sentiment is just wondergul - i love the polka dot paper and the lovely fresh feel to this card. I dont think the white is a problem - both Joey and i used white as our base card! - the main card is pink and black thats what counts
