The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge

Hello everyone!  I am trying to be a little more social.  So for this week's The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge, I did CAS.  I'm not very good at that yet...but am working on it.  First, thing I did was emboss my background paper with a Cuttlebug "Dots" folder.  I used a border from "Classic Lace Border One" by JustRite Papercraft. I cut this out and used Copic markers to color.  Next, I used "Classic Ric Rac Edgablities"  by Spellbinders to create the outer frame for the border.  The sentiment was computer generated and the frame is "Gold Labels Four" also by Spellbinders.  The final touch is a thin red/white satin ribbon and red/white pearls.
