I decided to combine it with a couple of other challenges too, and for colour inspiration I chose one of my favourite challenges, CR84FN.
For the Waltzingmouse CASE comp, Claire has asked us to Copy And Share Everything from one of the fabulous cards designed by WMS DT for this month's stamp release.
After lots of hemming and hawing, (so hard to choose!) I eventually settled on a card by the wonderfully talented Sarah Martina.
It struck me that the design is almost identical to this weeks challenge over at The Ribbon Reel.
There's still time to play along at The Ribbon Reel challenge, and there's a fab prize to be won too!
Below is the graphic from CR84FN:
And here is my attempt to recreate Sarah Martina's beautiful card:
I have used a cream pearlescent card base, and stitched a panel of some patterned GCD Cloisonne paper onto some pale pink bazzill.
Then pearl embossed a circle from Vintage Circles Sml, by Waltzingmouse stamps.
Then, using some lace from my stash, made a flower by threading some cotton through the holes and gathering up, then using my new can't-do-without-it glue gun, adhered it to a small circle on the underside. Attached a pink flower and a smaller cream flower with a clear gem brad and mounted this onto the embossed Vintage circle, cut out with my nesties Circles Sml.
Then tied some pink and green baker's twine to the top half and secured it under the lace topper, and tied a little bow to one side, adding a little pink chiffon bow for good measure!
Finally stamped and clear embossed the WMS sentiment from Fancy Phrases, inked some Pink Petunia around all the edges and some stickles to the flower and the pink panel edges and it's finished!
I am also entering this card into the following challenges:
