I hand-wrote my sentiment to mimic writing on manuscript paper. After cutting out Cocoa and his apple with my nesties, I added him to the card with some pop dots. I Uni-ball white opaque pen provided the highlighting on the apple.
I found a Fiskar's notebook paper border bunch at a scrapbooking yard sale last weekend. It was perfect for this card. I resisted the urge to do lots of inking and just lightly went around the edges of the "notebook" paper.
