Polka Dot Pieces are Bordering on Romance

Hello, Stampin’ friends! We had the best time looking at all of your beautiful floral cards with the last challenge! Oh my, you all just outdid yourselves! Have you seen them?! You really need to take a gander! Well, now with that challenge over, we have a sketch challenge for you that will really get your creative juices going! I promise you that this sketch is so versatile you will use it again and again. My card was made with two retired stamp sets, Bordering on Romance from the 2012 Occasions Mini Catalog and Polka-Dot Pieces which was in the 2013-2014 Annual Catalog. They really look nice together, don’t you think? And, of course, with the new catalog just coming out last week, I absolutely HAD to use some new products! The Swirly Scribbles Thinlits were absolutely perfect for the sketch!
