OWH Sketch Challenge #251

I whipped up a card this morning using Operation Write Home's sketch #251.

For my card I decided to do some stamping for the vertical stripes.   I added three stripes in my favorite Tide Pool Shadow ink.  I love this color and anything close to it.  It really pops off the black polkadots that I stamped in between.  For the rectangle element at the top I went with a framed window.

I stamped the sentiment on the inside of the card and added just a touch of Butterbar to draw attention.  When the card is opened the sentiment is surrounded  by little hearts stamped in onyx black.  This is basically a one layered card.  It's very flat and should go through the mail like a breeze.  It's nice to give my stamps center stage once in a while.

For this card I used the following supplies from:

Striped Background Stamp Set

Lil' Inker Designs:
