Joan's Challenge Belly Band

Good Morning Ladies,
I missed Joan's challenge last week but this week I got right on it.
So my card for today is Joan's Challenge Belly Band
You can see and enter the challenge here http://www.joanstouch.com/
The requirements for the challenge this week are as follows:
Use polka dots
Make a gate fold card
Use a fancy belly band around the card
Use a product that can be purchased at http://www.atjoansgardens.com/
Here is my card....
This was a fun card to make. It did take me a couple of attempts at getting the gate fold card the right size. But I managed. The cardstock I used to create the gate fold card base is from Doddlebug. This is a glittered paper as the dots are glittered. 
The belly band was made of plain white card stock with a piece of the polka dot card stock wrapped around it in the center. The flowers were created using the Sunflower die from Cheery Lynn. I purchased this die from  http://www.atjoansgardens.com/ This is one of my favorite flower dies. The two blue flowers on each end had the petals pinched. Pop dots are in between each layer for a 3-D effect. Pearl sprigs set behind the flowers. White flat back doves sit on each flower center.
This is the front of the gate fold card.
The sentiment is from Rubber Cottage.  I just got back from the stamp show a week or two ago and purchased this stamp. A shout out to Terri to check out this company as it has lots of awesome sayings and images. https://www.rubbercottage.com/ If you like the images from this company give Terri a holler by e-mail. A flat back dove accents the inside sentiment.
A close-up of the sentiment.
Thanks Joan for another great challenge.
Happy Scraps,
Mrs. Swandog
