WMSC #5

Hi fellow waltzers, today I have another card for the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #5.


Here is the sketch:

And Here is my take:






Made using Waltzingmouse Stamps Victorian Frippery set, I set myself the challenge of using a colour scheme I wouldn't normally use. I do tend to veer towards the paler end of the spectrum, blues and greens and pearlescent card, but today I wanted to try something different! Glad that I did!



So, using the Victorian Frippery set, I stamped and embossed the circle and border in black embossing powder, and cut the circle using Nestabilities Circles Sml, and hand cut the border.

Using the Nestabilities Blossom dies, cut the pink flower out of some pink tissue paper that came from jewellery wrapping. I think it was 5 layers per size, and cut the smallest 3 blossoms in the set. Scrunched them up and popped a lime green brad through the middle.



Mounted the embossed lace strip onto a piece of card punched with a Martha Stewart punch, then added some black silk ribbon to the top.

Stamped and embossed the little medallion from this set and cut in half, and the added the sentiment 'Merci', then mounted to the lace strip.

Using Labels 3, cut a piece if black Bazzill to mount the flower onto, and adhered all to a white dry embossed panel from Doodlebug. Mounted this onto some more black Bazzill, and adhere to the front of my card.

Added some lime green rhinestones, and stamped the sentiment inside.



So glad I stepped out of my comfort zone!!!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Great (!!) minds think alike Pauline, great card and you got your three 'lines' showing better than I did. Hard not to use this VP (we won't think of the visible p---- line ever again) and I think it is going to be so useable for many things. Just love your tissue rose...haven't been too happy with any I've done. Everyone else's seems to be so beautiful.
