Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge + a Couple of Other Challenges!



Today I have a card made using Sewing Box Hugs set from Waltzingmouse Stamps. Claire has a big release on Saturday 1st May, and there are a few competitions to celebrate, including a sketch challenge.



I have stamped the larger flower from this set onto several different papers from a stack by Papermania called Rose Garden, distressed them with some chalk ink, and layered them up. Stamped some leaves from the same set, and mounted them all onto a chequered paper from a Papermania stack called Blueberry Hill.




Finally I added some large gems I have had for ages, they fit perfectly in the middle of the flowers, and the sentiment is from the same stamp set.

I am also entering this into two other challenges which want stitching on their entries:

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge

Crafty Catz Challenge

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hi Pauline! So very CLEVER! What a great take on the sketch!

I just love it and never in a million years would have come up with the idea to create the main shape of the card out of several small items! GREAT idea!

Hi Pauline!
Love you design and interpretation of the sketch and it's one beautifully made card!

I noticed your comment in your post below this one that you want some square punches. I do too but am planning on getting the square nesties as they take up less space and you get a lot more sizes for your money comparitively.
I have only had my bigshot since christmas and am not sure how often the clear plastic cutting plates need replacing. If it's very often that might work out more expensive, I don't know.
My main problem is lack of space, so I'll have to go for the nesties anyway.
Just thought I'd mention it. :-)
Happy creating!
Gini
