Dream Card for Your Next Stamp Sketch Challenge #45

This is my first time participating in a Your Next Stamp challenge where you can use a sketch or a color combo or a combination of both.  I don't own any Your Next Stamps yet but perhaps I will win the $15 randomly drawn gift certificate to their store.  (Fingers crossed here)
The card was made for a special young lady who is going away to college this week.

Oh Happy Day with a Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #150

Try Stampin' on Tuesday has a wonderful sketch this week and the twist is "polka dots".  I used a Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder for my dots.  The paper is retired Close To My Heart Claire.  The banner was cut with the Artiste cartridge and the coordinating stamp was used with Sunset ink.  Outdoor Denim CS was used as the paper mats and the greeting was popped up with 3D Foam Tape.

Here is the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch that inspired my card:
