WMSC #6



Hello Friends! Yesss, I made it for the Waltzingmouse Challenge! Phew, 2 posts in one day, I'll need a lie-down after such exertion!

Here's the sketch:

And here's my take:




Used pearlescent lilac card for the base, cut the curve from the sketch on the front of the card, and just stamped away! It's a very flat card, no foam pads anywhere, just a bit of bling. Ok, maybe a LOT of bling, but I love it too much!




Inks used were Antique Linen distress ink for the cane border stamp, Angel Pink Memento and Rose Bud Dew Drop for the blossoms, Rich Cocoa Memento for the sentiments and branch, and Brilliance Dew Drop in Pearl Ivy for the birds, mixed in with some gold ink that's not showing up very well here!




I did struggle to get a good photo of this card, and the party bags this morning as the weather is terrible, big black clouds and pouring with rain - nothing like a British summer ladies!

Well I must go and do some housework before school pick up lol!
