Scandinavian Folk Art Greeting with Tuesday Morning Sketch #600

 My card today was really quick to make following the fabulous Tuesday Morning Sketch.  I used some very old Close to My Heart paper called Star Spangled Blue Background and Texture Paper and the Scandinavian Folk Art sentiment stamp.  A Stitched Circle and Stitched Square Frame were used to frame the bold sentiment. This card will go to my husband for Father's Day.

The small circle embellishments were created by clear embossing Star Spangled Blue Card Stock and then using a regular hole punch.

The Scandinavian Folk Art Stamp Set is the Close to My Heart Stamp of the Month which can be purchased for just $5 with a qualifying order of $50.

Here is the wonderful Tuesday Morning Sketch that inspired my card layout:
