I thought I'd make a card to enter into the MFT Sketch Challenge today. I used colours from their last colour challenge. I started by die-cutting a Single Stitched frame a few times from white card.

Striped Inlay
Today I'm sharing cards using a technique that Jennifer McGuire demonstrated recently. She used scraps of paper to make a striped background, then added a die cut inlay word.
