Hi, friends! How was your weekend? We had a wonderful time at my daughter's recital on Saturday night, and now I'm just trying to catch my breath before hubby goes out of town for a conference. Is it just me, or is this the busiest time of year?
I do want to share a quick card I made for this week's Card Patterns sketch, which uses a lovely sentiment stamp from Prickley Pear, this week's challenge sponsor.
I stamped the Find What you Seek sentiment onto a cream cardstock panel and rounded the corners, then added three drops of black Enamel Accents.
The papers are from the My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Union Square collection, stitched with black thread onto a cream card base. I simply used a small plate to trace a circle onto the back of the black paper, then cut it out by hand.
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (Vintage Cream)
Patterned paper: My Mind's Eye (Lost & Found Union Square)
Stamp: Prickley Pear (Find What you Seek)
Ink: Memento (Tuxedo Black)
Tool: We R Memory Keepers (Corner Chomper)
Accessories: Ranger (Enamel Accents), ribbon, thread
I hope the sun is shining wherever you are today. Thanks for visiting!

Gorgeous use of papers with this sketch. I like how you balanced the sentiment with your black dots. Yes, it's too busy right now!
I love the look of polka dots and stripes together here.... they compliment each other perfectly.
