This card is for the Doubledog Dare Challenge Hosted by Bev (aka Beestamper). She created a sketch for us to use and it is definately a keeper!!
You can find the Dare and Bev's sketch posted on the SCS Challenge Forums here: Doubledog Dare Challenge, Post #2. Anyone can join in!!
I used SU's soon to be released Kind & Caring Thoughts Hostess Set. The CS is two of the new In Colors from the new Catalog: Soft Suede and Rich Razzleberry.
I stamped the same colors on SU DP, used a Cuttlebug embossing folder to emboss texture, and added ribbon and jumbo antique brass eyelets. I made faux stiches with a white gel pen to finish off the edges.

This is a great sketch! I love the distressed look, too, and love how you've repeated patterns--the polka dots in the ribbon and the Swiss Dot EF plus the eyelets... great job!

I like the subtle stamped image on the patterned paper. It matches with the distressing look to the sentiment. Nice eyelets in the corner and especially the one with the flower under it.

I really love these soft and muted colors!! The ribbon is fabulous, and I loved this sketch too!
