Today I have used the Cell Phone Cindy digital stamp from My Besties ( Etsy / Store ), one of our generous sponsors this week.

My card has lots of dots, from Cindy's dress & shoes to the accent panel & black pearls.  It has lots of stripes too, hidden in the patterned paper of the background, a combination of white & yellow stripes and groovy striped arrows.

I printed Cindy on X-Press It Blending card and coloured the image with Copic markers.

I trimmed the panel down, matted it with black cardstock and assembled my card with matted patterned paper and a matted sentiment.  Each of the panels have a 1/16" black mat.

My card is 6 5/8" square.
Yes, I know it's an odd size but I really liked the patterned paper and decided to use it all.  It is from the Kaisercraft 6 1/2" Shine Bright paper pad.

The odd size meant that I had to join two pieces of cardstock to make the base.  I scored the back panel to make the top fold then adhered it to the front panel using strong book binding glue.
