When I was thinking about my design for this challenge, I wanted to use 2 designer papers - one striped and one other with some kind of dots in it. I chose papers from an Authentique 6x6 paper pad from 2013 with a Bee theme. I love the way the 2 papers I chose go together. I went with vanilla cardstock for the card base. I used my newly acquired Plaque Slides Love and Friendship Stamps & Dies from SSS for a simple sentiment. My project need a little zhuzh, so I used another new SSS die to add interest, some twine for the label, and a few Pinkfresh Matte Silver Metallic Pearls.

Your patterns do go really well together and I see the little flower centers as (polka) dots! The leaves bring out the rust color really well too. Great card inspired by the photo!
You started with some awesome inspiration Stephanie, and I love your striped and polka dot floral dsp...they go together beautifully! I'm loving those rusty colored leaves too! Beautifully done my friend!! Hugs. :0)
