Look what Santa brought me this year! How lucky am I? Loads of Spellbinders dies, and my most wanted Waltzingmouse Stamps! What can I say, except that I have been a VERY good girl this year LOL!!
So I set to, and had a little play........ but my mojo has taken a little Christmas stroll, too much turkey and Christmas pud, lol! So after a few attempts, and a little rest (ie a big sulk!) I came up with a thank you card for two challenges, Card Patterns and The Play Date Cafe.
Here is the Card Patterns Sketch:
And here is the colour inspiration from The Play Date Cafe:
And here is my take:
Using a white linen card base, I have stamped the lace border from Faux Fun in Victorian Velvet Distress ink. Then using some kraft card, have cut a decorative circle using a Nellie Snellen die cut. The scalloped circle is a Papermania paper, cut with Spellbinders Small Scalloped circles, and topped with a sentiment from Waltzingmouse Fancy Phrases and Victorian Fripperie.
I have inked around the kraft circle in Rosebud ink and added flat backed pearls from Kaisercraft. Finally finished off with some jute twine and pink bakers twine from The Ribbon Girl. Added a couple of clear gems to the top corners, I do love a bit of bling!
Thanks for looking, and Happy New Year to you all!

Your cards and papercrafts are beautiful! Lots of TLC and stamping have gone into them.
I'm soooo envious of your Waltzingmouse haul. Lucky you!! I recently got the 'Rescue Remedy' stamps, but haven't used them, yet.
