Sketch Saturday 94 + WMS St Patricks Day Blog Hop




Hi all, I have a card today for two challenges, one for the Sketch Saturday 94 and the WMS Blog Hop for the 17th March to be hopped from their forum Waltzingmousehouse.

I have stamped an image from Waltzingmouse stamps set called Irish Blessings, and the sentiment is again from Waltzingmouse, set called Celtic Heritage. The house is stamped onto paper from a Papermania stack called Regency, and then mounted onto a pale lemon card from my local craft shop.




Using pale green pearlescent cardstock, I cut an oval frame using Nestabilities Small Classic ovals and then embossed it using the Cuttlebug Birds and Swirls folder. Added some buttons around the cut out frame and some co-ordinating rhinestones.

Cut out an oval from some bronze cardstock, and stamped the sentiment, and added some stamped crosses from another Waltzingmouse set called Faux Fun Circles.




Finished off with some beige thin ribbon on the bottom.

Apologies for the awful pictures, it does look green really lol!

Thanks for looking

the card is amazing and my very first card made with a WMS had that house on it. It's just a lovely stamp set as all of them are over at Claire's.
