Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Party!

Morning All! Today is the the first Blog Party over at Waltzingmouse Stamps - previously we had a 'Blog Waltz' over on the forum, but now it's at the Waltzingmouse Makes blog.

This month, the theme is 'Something Sweet' - so many possibilities!

I have based my card on this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge...




And here's my entry for 'Something Sweet'!



I have used Sweethearts stamp set, and created 3 panels stamped in Vintage Sepia ink sewed together with some Turquoise thread.



As this is for my hubby, it has to be clean and simple - he doesn't do ribbons, frills or fuss! So masculine was the way to go, but with a tiny touch of bling!

I stitched the panels onto some kraft card, and mounted this onto a kraft card base edged with Versamagic Turquoise Gem ink.

The sentiment panel was created by stitching a piece of vellum onto some kraft, and stamping the sentiment twice, one in Turquoise Gem, then over the top in Vintage Sepia, to create a shadow effect, and the little cupcakes are also in Vintage Sepia. Finally added some Prima Say it in crystals.

This is going to be for my husband for Valentine's Day, so I need to hide it somewhere (with my secret chocolate stash!) until it will be packed in my suitcase, as in three week's time we are going to Gambia for a holiday! Valentine's Day is whilst we are there, so I'll try not to crumple it!

I am entering this into the following Challenges:
