September Paper Smooches Challenge - Sketch

I wanted to play with a new die from Paper Smooches and for motivation I created a card for this month's sketch challenge. I also needed a couple of thank you cards to send off to my gracious hosts for when I visited California last month. This one is heading to Millbrae:). My beautiful Aunt and Uncle hosted an unforgettable lunch at the Palace Hotel for my longtime bestie and I when we went into San Francisco to see Hamilton the Musical.  Oh my goodness.  The hotel is lovely, the meal was spectacular and my Aunt and Uncle? They are the most loving and genuine people I know. I am so lucky to have them in my life! 

Here's the sketch:
