Phew, I made it this month! I very nearly didn't make it! It's that time again, The Waltzingmouse Blog Waltz!
This month's theme is ..Halloween...BOO!
I received Cicely at Halloween last week, and I have to say this is one of my favourite little sets. She is a sweetie to colour in, and i just love the vintage 1930's feel to the graphics.
Cicely at Halloween had been stamped twice - one main image and one small image. Cut Cicely's face, hat and scarf from the larger image and decoupaged this into the smaller circular image. When I first got this set, it was something that immediately came to mind, her hat and scarf over the edges. I also stamped and cut out a little extra bat too.
I went around the image with a Promarker in Putty for a little dimension, and left her uncoloured.
I then layered the image onto a die cut circle of kraft card cut using a Nellie Snellen die, and a pinked circle of My Mind's Eye patterned paper, cut with an X-Cut die. Then layered this onto a small circle of kraft card cut using my Nestabilities Circles Small.
Then onto a white linen card base, attached a tartan pattern from My Mind's Eye, distressed with Walnut Stain Distress ink. Cut a panel of kraft and layered this up with some more DP and kraft edged with a Martha Stewart punch.
Wrapped some lace around the panel and layered all together, finally adding some gems.
I'm also entering this card into Papertake Weekly, and Paperplay challenges.
Happy Waltzing everyone, I'm off for a turn around the blogosphere myself!

I love the papers and colors you used for your card Pauline!! And I love how you extended the scarf out of the circle!! It's fabulous!
Hi Pauline! Great card! I love your version of Cicely - I'm not missing all the colors at all! The bling is the perfect little touch and your card looks fantastic! Love the trim of lace!
Pauline, you are a really, really great card designer. I mean that sincerely. I love the popped up elements of Cicely, especially love that you didn't color her, the lace and bling are just what this card called for with that image. Great job.
Awesome, Pauling! I love your idea to make her scarf and hat peek over the circle!
(Do you like how I re-named you? haha)
this is just a wonderful card Pauline, really beautiful clean and simple image. The colouring you did really brings Cicely to life! The paper (love those colours), lace and bling detail you added around her frame looks great. I really like the way the scarf, hat and bat are outside the circle - such a clever design - the perfect touch x
This is beautiful Pauline - Thanks so much for joining us on Paperplay this week. ♥
I Really like the layout of your card, Pauline, all the layers, and how you only used part of the Cicely stamp onto your circle. The added gems to her scarf look fab. A really lovely card...as always:)
You made a masterpiece. The card is breezing a sort of nostalgic and vintage feeling and your choice of colors is amazing. Love it!

Great monochromatic card Pauline...your image is great
Anne
Very vintage and pretty - I like all your lace and scalloped edges.
Cicely is one of my fave WMS images...second only to Earth Angel, of course (hee!) I LOVE how you colored her and paired her with that plaid paper. The trailing scarf addition is fantastic!
Ooooh - I love it! Love how you used the pale outline for Cicely - makes her just pop! Great card!!
This is totally BOO-tiful!!!!
Gorgeous! really love the way she is almost uncoloured and then all the different layers. Really reminds me of Enid Blyton don't you think?
Very pretty card - just love all the fall colors but especially how Cicely looks with just the shading!!! TFS...
I knew this one was going to be a winner Pauline! It stood out the first minute I saw it, great job, congrats on the blog waltz win.
