WMSC #17

Hi all, hope you are enjoying the weekend wherever you are. It's absolutely pouring with rain here in the UK, it's so dark and dull, yuk!

I have a card today for the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge today, thought I'd get it in early as I have missed a few being late!

Here's the sketch:



And here's my take:


I have used a white card base, and layered up with some orange bazzill, and some black bazzill stamped in white chalk ink, using Waltzingmouse Stamps tree tops from Asian Gardens - it makes a beautiful flourish on it's own!




Using WMS Labels 1 stamp set, stamped and cut the label in Distress Ink Spiced Marmalade. The sentiment and bird are also from Asian Gardens, stamped in Tuxedo Black.


Finally added some orange ribbon, some orangey bling and some black pearls to the label. Then gently edged the card base with the Spiced Marmalade ink.

As well as the WMSC, I am also entering the following challenges:

The Ribbon Girl - black, orange and white

Stamp Something - Celebrate

Simon Says Stamp - Autumn

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Absolutely stunning!!! I love the background and was wondering if that particular stamp would make a great pattern. I can see from your gorgeous card that it certainly does.
