I was inspired by the little polka dotted flower on the teapot. I don't own any polka dotted stamps. I didn't have any polka dotted dp either so I went to my computer and inserted a picture from clip art that had polka dots. I blew the polka dots up and printed them. I then used my flower punch. Voila, polka dotted flowers. The still seemed to need something so I added some pink bling.I had these colors out on my desk because of today's color challenge. That is how my little flowers ended up with more color than was on the teapot. I also wanted to make another card for the Cards for a Cause Challenge. You can read more about that here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I added the sentiment hope with a marker. That left a little spot on the O where I stopped for a second, but maybe it isn't too noticeable. I added a chocolate colored satin bow to finish the card.
Let me know what you think.

I wish I could write so nicely, then I wouldn't need so many sentiment stamps. Your flowers are perfect, and I like the extra colour even if it's not in the teapot. I nearly used that exact shade of green for my photo corners, until I realised I could spot black ones. It makes a great card for the cause.

What little spot on the o? Honestly girl, you get the award for always coming up with what you need one way or another. No supplies suited to the challenge and look what you make? You are like McGiver, well, Ms. McGiver....you can make anything out of anything! I love that about you!
Your card is wonderful and I love the added color....its perfect for add a little spice to the black and white. Thanks once again for coming to my teaparty......I love seeing you every week.....
