Polkadot Door Challenge: dream!

I'm so glad to get in on this challenge with Polkadot Door Designs. I haven't been able to participate since the very 1st challenge, but I think they're just so much fun. I love the thought of a three-part challenge...an inspiration photo that offers color/style, an element of some type (this time it's felt flowers), and a sentiment. I love the challenge of incorporating the three into one project. Here is the inspiration board for the current challenge...

And here is my card...

I used my new Mehndi Medallion from Papertrey--perfect for the circular elements in the photo, and one of their Beautiful Blooms dies for my flower. I cut two of the largest flowers from Papertrey's Harvest Gold felt and cut the petals off of one of them. Then I stitched some long stitches along the bottoms of the petals and gathered them up. It gave the flower some dimension without being too bulky. I kept the center simple by just stitching in a few pink pearls.

I felt like the style of my card called for one larger word for the sentiment, rather than all the little ones in the original challenge sentiment. I found a pretty font on the computer and printed it in a pretty gray.

I like the way this one turned out! Really loved the challenge colors, and although I didn't have perfect matches, I think I came up with a similar scheme. This is my first time using the Mehndi Medallion set (only $5!!) and I think I'll be using it lots and LOTS!

I hope you'll visit The Polkadot Door, and if you have any time at all, I sure hope you'll participate and support it. I really think these gals have worked hard to come up with a really nice monthly challenge and I would love to see more get behind it!!

I appreciate your visit today and hope you'll come again!!
