How Sweet it is...

Good morning!
I have had my daughter home all week with the flu and fever...she has been lethargic most of the time and in between running her water I had time to make some die cuts and whip up a simple card! 
I found a 'new to me' site called Sketch n Scrap and used this months Card Sketch #17....I flipped the sketch on its side and this is what I made:




And here is the Card Sketch #17....

I used Neenah desert storm for the card base and the stitched border stamp from SSS January stamp set in some white chalk ink. I cut strips of paper from Colorbok Hopscotch paper pad (so fun). I clear embossed the XO using SSS Big Holiday Wishes set on the teal paper because I felt it needed a "pattern" and quite honestly I just love to emboss!!! 
I used a Mama Elephant for SSS "Filled With Love" stamp and matching dies to create the jar with candy. I colored the lid and the outer jar with grey Spectrum Noir markers, tied with twine and added the tag that I stamped and die cut! Super seet. I used some different inks that I had on hand and stamped and die cut the candies. The strip sentiment is also in the stamp set and although it doesn't have a matching die, I just cut around it and used foam tape to adhere to the front of the jar! 
I loved using the sketch and love how fun this card was to create! Thanks for stopping by!
