Paper Hug Card with Case This Sketch #326

When I saw this week's Case This Sketch challenge I immediately thought of using an older Close to My Heart stamp set called "Swirls Around" as the background flourish.  The cricut cut oval is from the Lacy Labels cartridge and the sentiment stamp is from a retired CTMH stamp set called "True Love".

The paper color is Sugarplum and the stamps were inked with Peacock Ink.  Don't you love how great these two colors look together?  I cut an oval from white craft foam to "pop up" the oval frame.

Here is the fabulous Case This Sketch #326 that inspired my card layout:

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

     Sparkles Forum #117--No Patterned Paper

     Aud Sentiments Challenge #229--Anything Goes & Sentiment

     Crafty Sentiments--Anything Goes

     Retro Rubber Challenge--Anything Goes (Sentiment stamp--2             years old, Swirls Around background stamp about 5 years                 old)

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
