FS546 - Thank You

Congratulations to this week's Splitcoaststampers' Featured Stamper Vicky (aka Miss Vicky). I chose this card as my inspiration:

I focused on Vicky's:
-polka dots
-single flower and leaf
-thank you theme

I changed:
-colours
-technique
-stamping instead of die cuts

At first, it doesn't look very pretty, but over time, the colours kind of melt and blend together - it just takes  lots of patience for dry-time! I think this yellow-pink combination is pretty, but I also tried some other colour combinations:
