Today’s sketch comes from The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge.

The sketch:

My card:

Starting with a white cardstock base, I used a Lifestyles Crafts dry embossing folder to add the texture polka-dots.  Adding a layer of Outdoor Denim Cardstock, I added a stitched border and tore the bottom of the cardstock. Close To My Heart’s cardstock is all white core cardstock, meaning underneath the color is a white base. So when you sand or tear the cardstock it will leave a white border (as pictured above) I stamped my sentiment from the 4 My Friend stamp set in Outdoor Denim Exclusive Ink® on a layer of White Daisy Cardstock. To give a finished look to the card I added a strip of Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape.

Not only is the card entered in The Sweet Stop’s Challenge, but it was purposefully made for my in-laws. They were kind enough to stop by our house daily to feed our cat, and to pick up our mail while we were in Florida visiting Disney World last week!!  We are so incredibly blessed to be surrounded by such a loving, caring family!!!
