WMSC 2

Hello blogland, thanks for stopping by today, I have another card for the Waltzingmouse Sketch Blog. Another fun sketch, last week's was a real treat, I'm so glad that Claire has added this particular feather to her cap!

Here is the sketch:

And here is my take :



For the label I have used Very Vintage Labels 10 set, stamped in Sage Versamagic chalk ink. The sentiment from Fancy Phrases is stamped in Distress ink Weathered Wood, onto the smallest die cut from Nestabilities labels 10, which I sponged with Versamagic Chalk ink in Aspen Mist.



The panel underneath the label is a pale green pearlescent card, stamped alternately using the scroll border from the Say it With Style set, with Sage and Aspen Mist, and trimmed with a Martha Stewart edger punch.

The beautiful paper under neath is a Laura Ashley print (I believe, I bought it from my local craft shop on their odds and ends table so think it's from a broken pack) so I'm sorry I don't know the name of the pack. It inspired my choice of colours for this card, and incredibly, it really looks like fabric, I hope I can find some more of it, as it was the only sheet I could buy at the time. Mounted this paper onto some glitter card, and corner chomped. Then mounted that panel onto a Bazzill card base.

The ribbon is from stash, and I thought I would leave the ends unfixed for a bit of interest, and it's not something I have done before.

The two white paper roses are from my local craft shop, with a bit of Stickles added to the petals, and the fabric roses are from my local Haberdashery shop, and the centres of them have a very sparkly crystal, although it's not very clear in the photo. I just couldn't get them at the right angle to catch the light.


Finally the inside of the card was made using the stamped scroll (as before), and the stamped frame this time stamped in Weathered Wood onto pearlescent blue card.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

This is a beautiful card...soft subtle colours and that flock paper by L Ashley is so good with the rest of the elements.
