I recently broke my favorite polka dot embossing folder. Can you believe it, must have worn it out! I had a hard time finding a new one. I bought this cover plate from Avery Elle thinking it was what I was looking for. It wasn't, but then it kind of grew on me, so I've put it to good use today!
I backed the open dots with lilac paper then added a strip of DeNami Design watermelons. The yellow rhinestones are my way of giving a little nod to the fun pineapple pillow.
Okay, your turn! Need more inspiration? Hop over to the IB blog to check out what the team has done!

Sweet little melons - I resorted to melonizing a few rainbows!

Oh my goodness, you broke a FOLDER? I have taken mine apart sometimes, to get them to go in a different orientation! I guess I have a destructo nature! ANYWAY, these little purple polka dots are a delightful background for your sweet watermelons! LOVE it!
I'm glad the new polka dotted background die is growing on you Lisa because I love it and can't wait to see more! And it worked just perfectly on this sweet, SWEET card too...LOVE it!! :0)
Your polka dot cover plate is perfect for this design, and I love your colorful melons and gem nod to the pineapples! I scrolled down to catch up on all your creative designs and found that I have been missing out big time!

Marisela Delgado said: so pretty, Lisa. I love polka dots, too. One time, on someone's blog, she had taped her embossing folder sides with clear tape. Her folder had broken and she loved it so much to part with it. I think that would work only on a simple design, but she got it working. You never know. 😊 Beautiful card! It all worked beautifully.
