Card Patterns #162 Guest Designer and Dotty For You

A couple of weeks ago I entered this card into Card Patterns Challenge #159 and it won. My prize was the opportunity to be Guest Designer for week #162, which I am very excited about. You can check out this week's challenge here. I created the card below showcasing some of the fun papers in the special paper pack 'Dotty for You', available exclusively from Close To My Heart until the end of May.

And here is the sketch from Card Patterns:

I like this card, just wasn't happy with the way I stamped it.
