To make this card, I blended some distress oxide inks  (mowed lawn, twisted citron, evergreen bough and mermaid lagoon) onto Neenah solar white cardstock (cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2") and splattered with water.  I then used a pierced rectangle die to add the dotted border around my blended background.  Next, I used the two smaller dies from the Waffle Flower Doily Square die to cut out a stitched white frame from Neenah solar white cardstock .  Then I adhered my white frame with foam tape to the center of my card, and stamped the "You're as Sweet As Ice Cream" sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set  with  MFT Extreme Black hybrid ink  onto the center of my white frame....
